In vullioud/torpor: Assigning metabolic rate measurements to torpor and euthermia in heterothermic endotherms

torpor

Welcome to torpor

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.

Installation

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)

Where can you find more about torpor?

You can learn more about the goal and the theory behind the package in the companion article (Fasel et al., Biol Open 15 April 2022; 11 (4): bio059064. doi: https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.059064). And you will find an example in the vignettes of the package. You can access it directly from R by typing:

browseVignettes("torpor")

How can you help ?

Torpor is still in its infancy and despite numerous testing it is possible that bugs appear. You can help us by reporting bugs or request new features.
