Checks: 2 0

Knit directory: rss/

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.

R Markdown file: up-to-date

Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Repository version: 941a146

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version 941a146. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated: 


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.

These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (rmd/setup_mcmc.Rmd) and HTML (docs/setup_mcmc.html) files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view the files as they were in that past version.

This page shows how to install the Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) scripts in rss/src/. In a standard computing environment with internet connection, the installation time is typically less than 10 minutes.

Step-by-step guide

0. Install git (optional)

To simplify Step 1 below, you may consider installing git in your computing environment (if it is not available there). Please see this excellent tutorial on installing git.

Please note that RSS software does not depend on git. You can complete Step 1 without installing git.

1. Clone rss repository

With git installed, you can easily clone rss by running the following command in Terminal.

git clone git@github.com:stephenslab/rss.git

Without git, you can manually download rss as follows.

wget https://github.com/stephenslab/rss/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
rm master.zip
mv rss-master rss

2. Download external packages

Download and install the lightspeed MATLAB toolbox (author: Tom Minka).

cd rss/src
wget http://ftp.research.microsoft.com/downloads/db1653f0-1308-4b45-b358-d8e1011385a0/lightspeed.zip
unzip lightspeed.zip
rm lightspeed.zip
cd lightspeed/
matlab -nodisplay < install_lightspeed.m

Download and install the lapack MATLAB package (author: Tim Toolan).

cd rss/src
unzip lapack.zip
rm lapackhelp.m lapack.zip license.txt

Note that if an appropriately compiled version of lapack.c does not exist, this package will ask whether to build one.

Download the progress MATLAB package (author: Martinho Marta-Almeida).

unzip progress.zip
rm progress.zip license.txt

All downloaded files must be placed under rss/src.
