Overview

About

Maintained by Marina PapadopoulouCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides a pipeline for the comparative analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional swarm space constructed from these metrics. The swarm space concept, the metrics and data sets included are described in: Papadopoulou Marina, Furtbauer Ines, O'Bryan Lisa R., Garnier Simon, Georgopoulou Dimitra G., Bracken Anna M., Christensen Charlotte and King Andrew J. (2023) doi:10.1098/rstb.2022.0068.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

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

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

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

Development version from marinapapa/swaRmverse. 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-swarmverse

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-swaRmverse

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# 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-swaRmverse

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
