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.
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)
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")
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.
