aquap2

Package aquap2 provides methods and tools for multivariate data analysis in R, with an additional focus on specialized Aquaphotomics procedures and methods.

Summary

aquap2 can be useful in three distinct areas in NIRS:

• Experiment Design: Outline the class-structure and generate a truly randomized sample list.
• Data Acquisition: While recording spectra, the previously generated sample list can be used, thus eliminating errors in assigning classes.
• Data Analysis: aquap2 provides an array of standard chemometric procedures as well as some specialized methods used in Aquaphotomics.

Installation

If you work on a Windows-machine, you might first have to download and install R-tools. (Re-start the R-session.)

If not already done, install the package “devtools” via

install.packages("devtools")

Install release version of aquap2 from CRAN via

install.packages("aquap2") 

or download from github:

library(devtools)
install_github(repo="bpollner/aquap2", ref="latestPublic")

You can now launch aquap2 and perform (only required at first use) the required setup

library(aquap2)
ap2_settings_setup()

This adds an entry to the .Renviron file and generates the corresponding folder containing the aquap2_settings.R file. (You might have to restart R.)
