In healyke/FestR: Stable Isotope Discrimination Estimation using R

SIDER

Stable Isotope Discrimination Estimation in R

This package allows users to estimate Trophic Discrimination Factors (TDF) for species with no current measured TDF values using Bayesian imputation. This package is based on the MCMCglmm package and runs a MCMCglmm analysis on multiple trees using mulTree.

Installing SIDER (latest stable release)

If you want the vignettes installed along with SIDER you will need to first download and install the JAGS software which is required for the package MixSIAR that is called in the SIDER-to-MixSIAR-pipeline vignette. Please note also that these vignettes take some time to run as there are several real calls made to SIDER, and it will probably take about 15 minutes on a 2.7 GHz i5 with 16 GB RAM to install.

# Install devtools if you dont already have it
if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("healyke/SIDER@v1.0.0.0", build_vignettes = TRUE, dependencies = "suggests")
library(SIDER)

If you want to skip the vignette installation then you can run the following.

# Install devtools if you dont already have it
if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("healyke/SIDER@v1.0.0.0", build_vignettes = FALSE)
library(SIDER)

Installing SIDER (development - not guaranteed stable)

if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("healyke/SIDER@master", build_vignettes = TRUE, dependencies = "suggests")
library(SIDER)
