for a comparison with published data. Most cases agree with those published here, but there are some exceptions; possible a typo in the published table?The software is being developed in cooperation with the ETH and Department of Gastroenterology of the University Hospital of Zürich, Switzerland. Thanks to Andreas Steingötter, Benjamin Misselwitz, Mark Fox and Werner Schwizer. And to Kirill Müller for supporting the RSqlite package.
To install the functions, use
devtools::install_github("d13cbreath","dmenne")
The Shiny package is the test bed for new ways to display the data. To run it with a sample database, use:
library(D13CBreath)
# remove the following line if there is a database in the default location
# <HOME>/Gastrobase2/Gastrobase2sqlite
databasePath = CreateSimulatedBreathTestDatabase()
RunShiny()
These function were developed under Windows 7 and have not been tested under Linux.
The coupling between computation and database storage is rather tight because of requirements of the first installation. Some refactoring must be done to allow using the computational part without data from the database.
