specificity.shiny

Companion R package for specificity; enables interactive visualization and exploration of analysis results

by John L. Darcy Updated 06 AUG 2021

Installation

This package is extremely lightweight, and can be installed quite easily using remotes::install_github() in R. Install remotes using install.packages("remotes") if you don't have it already. Then run remotes::install_github("darcyj/specificity.shiny"). All done!

Requirements

specificity.shiny has a couple dependencies (and their dependencies...), which should be installed automatically using install_github() above. The dependencies are:

• shiny (obviously)
• ggplot2 (because its easier to get ggplot2 to work with shiny compared to base R plots)
• DT (to make data table visualization nice)
• colourpicker (for friendly color picking)
• THIS PACKAGE DOES NOT REQUIRE specificity! This was intentional, so that specificity results can be shared interactively with collaborators, without the need for them to install the main package.

How to use

See the example in ?plot_specs_shiny. It's really easy. The tutorial vignette for specificity also contains a full walkthrough of this package.

Documentation

Documentation for individual functions can be obtained within R using ?fun where fun is the function you're interested in. There is also a full .pdf documentation file in this repository named specificity.pdf, which is a standard glossary of all functions in the package.
