⚓️ SonaR R Back-End for use with OpenCPU

⚓️ SonaR `R` Back-End for use with OpenCPU

Temporary Building Process

The public data is attached to this package as public data set in the data/ folder. Using the .onLoad() function in the zzz.R file, the data is loaded on package load to ensure fast access times. Since this package is automatically loaded in the OpenCPU server, the public data is available to all sessions instantly.

Currently the way to rebuild the public dataset is to run the create_public_data_package_files(public_data_path) function and rebuild the package. This needs to be automated later on to cope with changing public data sets.

TODO

Automatically build the package in the docker image using a CRON Job
Include additional functionality distinguishing between private and public data

Problems with Roxygen

Roxygen does not know the public_data object. When running roxygen2::roxygenise() you will get a error like Error in get(name, envir = env) : object 'public_data' not found. A quickfix is to define public_data and then Roxygen runs without problems.

public_data <- ''
roxygen2::roxygenise()

File permissions of `data` folder when editing inside of Docker image

When RStudio is ran in the docker image and it tries to change the contents of the folder sonaR/data, you have to give it the proper permissions:

# The OpenCPU user is part of the www-data group
chgrp -R www-data data
# Allow group to modify the data
chmod -R 775 data

Principal Component Analysis

I've experimented with a number of principal component analysis implementations. Most of them take approximately the same time.

I checked prcomp, fast.prcomp and princomp. The latter is the fastest and therefore the PCA is now created with princomp.
