Overview

About

Maintained by João Carvalho1 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions to simulate Pool-seq data under models of demographic formation and to import Pool-seq data from real populations. Implements two ABC algorithms for performing parameter estimation and model selection using Pool-seq data. Cross-validation can also be performed to assess the accuracy of ABC estimates and model choice. Carvalho et al., (2022) doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13834.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/poolABC/poolABC_1.0.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "poolABC_1.0.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("joao-mcarvalho/poolABC")

Development version from joao-mcarvalho/poolABC. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-poolabc

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-poolABC

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
