Running Xpose with the classic menu system
Xpose can be run
through a series of menu selections. This method of running Xpose
is useful for the beginning "Xposer" and for learning about the
functionality available in Xpose. The menu system does not allow
for as much customization as the command line interface, nor does it
allow for scripting.
To run the classic Xpose interface, at the R command prompt,
type:
library(xpose4) #read in the xopse library
xpose4() #Run the menu system
And follow the menu prompts.Running Xpose from the command line
Each function in the
Xpose bundle is now independently available from the command
line, once libraries are loaded. For example, you might do the
following:
library(xpose4) #read in the xopse library
run.number <- 5 # run number of xpose table files
xpdb <- xpose.data(run.number) # run number of xpose table
files
basic.gof(xpdb) # Basic goodness-of-fit plotsGetting Help
All Xpose 4.0 functions are documented within the R help system.
For example, if you want to know more about DV vs PRED plots and their
options, type at the R command line after loading Xpose:
?dv.vs.pred
You can also use the html help, in the R-gui go to (Help -> Html help)
then click on packages, then xpose4.
If you don't know the names of the Xpose function you would like to
use then you can browse the four different libraries that make up the
Xpose 4 distribution. These libraries are:
xpose4data -
Functions to to read NONMEM table files and create the Xpose data
structure.
xpose4generic -
Generic functions to create plots using the Xpose data structure.
xpose4specific
-
Specific functions to create plots using the Xpose data
structure. Generally what you want to use.
xpose4classic
-
Functions for running the classic menu system in Xpose.
xpose4specific
may be the most helpful as it
contains functions that are ready to use just by telling the functions
which xpose database to use (i.e. xpdb after running the
command xpdb <- xpose.data(run.number)).
functions and their help entries may be found in the \chtml, \html and
\latex directories of the five Xpose packages, found in the
\[R-HOME]\library folder. Formats are Microsoft compiled HTML,
CHTML, PDF and
LaTeX, respectively.
