ctmmweb: Web App For ctmm Package

Introduction

This is a Shiny web application for ctmm R package.

Check the videos here for feature demonstrations. The help buttons in each page also have detailed documentations for the specific feature.

Just open the hosted app with browser (Chrome recommended).

This is more intended for demonstration purposes because

R is single threaded, so any computation heavy operations like loading large datasets, fitting models could block other users in same thread.
The active hours per month is limited.

You can run app in your local machine with these steps:

Install the latest R.

Note R 3.4 bring some big changes, so it's better to upgrade all the existing packages if you have earlier version installed.

RStudio is not required but recommended.
Start R or RStudio, run this line in console.

r source("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ctmm-initiative/ctmm-webapp/master/run.R")

The script above will install dependency packages and run app. Sometimes you may need to restart R in installing packages. Running in RStudio will use RStudio's embeded browser by default. In windows/Linux this has known compatibility problems(slider label not in log scale, download file name not formated automatically, download dialog lost response). You can click the open in browser button in the browser top bar to use system browser instead. Chrome is recommended.
