In bbolker/mixstock: Functions for Mixed Stock Analysis

mixstock

This is the source code repository for the mixstock package for mixed stock analysis in R, based on work by Bolker and Okuyama and others.

The package is not on CRAN, and hasn't been for some time, because of fairly trivial problems with some of the C code. (In particular, there are some indexing problems somewhere in the C code for unconditional and conditional maximum likelihood (CML/UML) that trigger valgrind warnings. If this means nothing to you, don't worry about it.)

If you want to install the package, at present you will need to have the devtools package, and the R compilation tools, installed. Then you can either use devtools::install_version("mixstock","0.9.5.1") (to install the last archived version from CRAN) or devtools::install_github("bbolker/mixstock") (to install the version from this repository, which may be more up-to-date).

As far as I know the package is fully compatible with recent versions of R, but I haven't checked. If you have any problems (with compatibility or any other aspects of the package), please post an issue for me to look at.

If you really need the package and are unable to install compilation tools for some reason, you'll need to contact me and convince me to build a binary version of the package for you.

If anyone is interested in helping to bring this package up-to-date and getting it back on CRAN, please let me know! This could be done either by (1) fixing the problems with the C code or (2) removing the C code (and the corresponding R functions) from the package.
