toxEval

Initial code for studying ToxCast data in relation to measured concentrations.

Installation of R and RStudio

This section should only need to be done once per computer.

The following link walks you through an installation of R and RStudio:

Installation Instructions

If you follow those instructions exactly, you should have the USGS R repository (GRAN) added to your R profile. If that step doesn't ring a bell, paste the following into your R console:

rprofile_path = file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), ".Rprofile")
write('\noptions(repos=c(getOption(\'repos\'),
    CRAN=\'https://cloud.r-project.org\',
    USGS=\'https://owi.usgs.gov/R\'))\n',
      rprofile_path, 
      append =  TRUE)

cat('Your Rprofile has been updated to include GRAN.
    Please restart R for changes to take effect.')

RESTART RSTUDIO!

Installation of toxEval

This section should also only have to be done once. It assumes the USGS R repository (GRAN) was added to your R profile as described above.

install.packages("toxEval")

Regularly, it is a good idea to update ALL your packages in R. If using RStudio, this is quite easy, there's an Update button in the "Packages" tab. This checks CRAN and GRAN for updates. It is a good idea to click this update regularly.

Run toxEval

To run the toxEval app:

  1. Open RStudio
  2. In the Console (lower-left window of RStudio) paste the following:
library(toxEval)
explore_endpoints()
