This is the repository of torpor an R (https://www.r-project.org/)
package aiming at an objective and standardized distinction between
torpid and euthermic metabolic rates (M) measured in steady-state
conditions. Note: This package is not aimed for use without careful
researcher’s attention.
A stable version of the package will be soon available on CRAN. However, to allow greater flexibility and interactivity at this early stage of the project, the package is only available on github at the moment. Any bug report or request features would therefore be appreciated.
Torpor is using JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler) in the background
and thus you should make sure to have
JAGS installed on your machine. Once
jags is properly installed and working you can installed torpor in R by
typing:
library(remotes)
remotes::install_github("vullioud/torpor", build_vignettes = TRUE)You can learn more about the goal and the theory behind the package in the companion article (Fassel et al., in prep). And you will find an example in the vignettes of the package. You can access it directly from R by typing:
browseVignettes("torpor")Torpor is still in its infancy and despite numerous testing it is possible that bugs appears. You can help us by reporting bugs or request new features.
