Description

Graphical User Interface for the Metabonomic Analysis (Baseline, Normalization, Peak Detection, PCA, PLS, Nearest Neigbourgt, Neural Network) developed to make easy this data analysis.

Usage

Metabonomic()

Details

The ''Metabonomic'' GUI was designed using the R-Tcl/Tk interface that allows using the TK toolkit, replacing Tcl code with R function calls. The purpose was to allow an easy interaction with the R functions as well as a comprehensive metabonomic analysis. The software offers several graphic outputs and the different plots are created using a combination of different Tcl/Tk interfaces. The program has been created with R version 2.8.0 under Windows operating system. To use the ''Metabonomic'' GUI, the ''Metabonomic'' package and all the required packages have to be downloaded and installed in the R console. The required PROcess package can be found in the Bioconductor Project Site . Next, the ''Metabonomic'' package has to be loaded using the Package installer or writing ''>require (Metabonomic)'' if the package is already in the computer. The program is started by writing ''> Metabonomic()'' in the R console, which generates the main user interface . The main GUI has an input console to launch any R applications and two different output consoles for the warnings and for the output messages. The GUI also has a button line, where the following buttons are available: (a) undo, (b) redo, (c) current data display, (d) launch the commands written in the input console, (e) erase the input console, (f) stop any running process and (g) shutdown the GUI and return to R console. Finally, the main GUI has a main menu with different tabs: File, Script, Edit, Preprocessing, Metabonomic Analysis and Spectrum. From the Script tab, the following functions are available: (a) ''Load a Script'' opens a script into the input console, (b) ''Save Script'' saves the commands written in the input console as an R script file and (c) ''Launch the Script'' runs the commands written in the input console.
