Overview

About

Maintained by Kevin R. CoombesCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Contains tools for supervised analyses of incomplete, overlapping multiomics datasets. Applies partial least squares in multiple steps to find models that predict survival outcomes. See Yamaguchi et al. (2023) doi:10.1101/2023.03.10.532096.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("plasma", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-plasma

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
