FunctionalMixedEffects.Rpkg

FunctionalMixedEffects is an R package designed to perform linear mixed effect regression on functional response variables. It functions mainly as a wrapper for the FunctionalMixedEffects.jl julia package. The README file there contains more in-depth information about the model construction and sampling scheme. Pre-configured scripts can be found under the templates folder.

Install Information

Package installation can be done using the devtools package:devtools::install_github("wzhorton/FunctionalMixedEffects.Rpkg"). On Windows you may be required to install git.

Note that although the GitHub repository name contains .Rpkg, the package itself is named FunctionalMixedEffects (i.e. no .Rpkg and is properly loaded by library(FunctionalMixedEffects)).

Update Information

For the sake of simplicity (and not requiring users to know anything about julia), FunctionalMixedEffect.Rpkg comes bundled with julia code, which is done by linking to the main julia repo as a submodule. Proper updating is handled most easily through the above devtools command. However, it is possible to maintain a local copy and install from source.

• To properly clone the repo, use the --recurse-submodules flag
• To update, first pull to grab the new submodule commit pointer, then run git submodules update --remote to pull submodule content.
