Milan course package (Linux/Unix) (Windows).

You can step through the labs interactively using the vExplorer function and GUI from the tkWidgets package. At the R prompt type
             library(tkWidgets)
             library(Milan)
              vExplorer()
and select the package Milan and the vignette for a given lab, e.g., lab1.Rnw.

Installing software

The packages used for this course require the use of R version 1.7.0-patched or newer.

A download script has been provided. To use, type 'source("/workshops/Milan/getMilan.R")' in your R session and then 'getMilan()'. There are a few arguments to getMilan(), tho most users will not find them necessary:

getAllDeps: If this is TRUE, will automatically attempt to download any package dependencies, otherwise the user will be prompted. Default is TRUE.
destdir: This defines where to install the packages. Defaults to .libPaths()[1]
force: If TRUE, will install a package even if not all of its dependencies were available. Default is TRUE.
versForce: If TRUE, will install a binary package even if it was built on a different version of R. Default is TRUE.
method: The download method to use, same as in download.packages(). Default is auto.
