# tRophicPosition
`tRophicPosition` is a colaborative project of [Chris Harrod](http://harrodlab.net), [Andrew L. Jackson](https://github.com/AndrewLJackson), [Claudio Quezada-Romegialli](https://github.com/clquezada) and others. It consists of an R package incorporating a Bayesian model for the calculation of consumer trophic position using stable isotopes with one or two baselines. It uses the powerful approach of Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations provided by [JAGS](https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/) and the statistical language [R](https://www.r-project.org).

As of 12th of December 2022, we are releasing the version 0.8.0 of the package, the fifth release version. If you find any error, please send it to trophicposition-support@googlegroups.com and/or raise an issue in the GitHub page. Also you can also send a direct email to clquezada at harrodlab.net.

## NEWS (11 December 2022)
* Small updates to be back on CRAN. I am working on a major release. Come back soon.

## NEWS (05 April 2019)
* Updating CRAN release to v 0.7.7 (archived recently). Small fix regarding examples.

## NEWS (27 June 2018)
* Fixed [issue 69](https://github.com/clquezada/tRophicPosition/issues/69) (parametricTP() when using only one baseline). This small fix changes current version of tRophicPosition to 0.7.6 only in GitHub. CRAN version will be updated soon.

## NEWS (29 January 2018)

* Added the function extractPredictiveData() to perform a posterior predictive model-checking procedure.
* Implemented code coverage and unit test.
* Improved the code (to make it clearer, considering width and the assignment operator).
* Changed some arguments (consumer instead of species, group instead of community and others) in loadIsotopeData(), extractIsotopeData() and other functions (while maintaining old arguments as compatibility)
* Added a a procedure for checking errors on priors arguments in jagsBayesianModel and related functions
* Removed MCMCvis from the Short guide to tRophicPosition vignette, as that package is no longer in CRAN.

## NEWS (12 October 2017)

* Added the function fromParallelTP() to extract the data from parallel calculations (see the examples on [GitHub](https://github.com/clquezada/tRophicPosition/wiki/tRophicPosition-examples)).
* Implemented the Bhattacharrya Coefficient (from the package [dispRity](https://github.com/TGuillerme/dispRity)) when comparing two or more posterior distributions. As [dispRity](https://github.com/TGuillerme/dispRity) is only available through GitHub, when users have not installed the package we use the internal function bhat.coeff based on [dispRity](https://github.com/TGuillerme/dispRity) package.
* Improved credibilityIntervals(). Now it can group samples by colour, accept manual colours and legend position.
* Added two example datasets: Inari and Kilpis (Finnish_Lakes), and Roach, and including some examples in the [GitHub](https://github.com/clquezada/tRophicPosition/wiki/tRophicPosition-examples) page.

## Installation

The stable version of `tRophicPosition` is hosted on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=tRophicPosition), and is installed like any other package:
```{r}
install.packages("tRophicPosition")
```

Remember to install [JAGS](https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/) for your platform as well. A number of packages are needed, which can be installed with:

```{r}
install.packages(c("coda", "data.table", "dplyr", "ggplot2", "gridExtra",
"hdrcde", "MCMCglmm", "plyr", "rjags", "knitr", "rmarkdown"))
```

The development version of `tRophicPosition` must be installed from GitHub. For this, install the package devtools, and then use the function `install_github()`:

```{r}
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("clquezada/tRophicPosition", build_vignettes = TRUE)
```

And then see the vignettes we have prepared to describe how to use the package:

```{r}
browseVignettes("tRophicPosition")
```

## Online vignettes
Can be found in GitHub [here](https://github.com/clquezada/tRophicPosition/wiki/tRophicPosition-vignettes).

## Credits
`tRophicPosition` relies on some code from [coda](https://cran.r-project.org/package=coda) and [dispRity](https://github.com/TGuillerme/dispRity). At the moment [dispRity](https://github.com/TGuillerme/dispRity) is only available through GitHub, so it is not included in Suggests. `tRophicPosition` included the Bhattacharrya Coefficient (bhatt.coeff function from [dispRity](https://github.com/TGuillerme/dispRity)) and plotMCMC (from [coda](https://cran.r-project.org/package=coda)) for convenience.

## Future releases and how to get support

You are encouraged to use `tRophicPosition` with your own data, test the package and see if there are any issues or problems. You can send your questions or commentaries to the google group [tRophicPosition-support](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/trophicposition-support) or directly to the email trophicposition-support at googlegroups.com. You can send your questions to http://stackexchange.com/ http://stackoverflow.com/ or even [Facebook (stable isotope ecology group)](https://www.facebook.com/groups/stableisotopes/).

We are constantly working on future releases of `tRophicPosition`, so feedback is very much appreciated.
