RLumShiny

Much of the work that took place during the Luminescence 1.1.0 timeframe was devoted to adding new features to RLumShiny, the graphical interface to Luminescence built on the Shiny framework. We see this package as a good entry point to become acquainted with some of the functions provided by Luminescence and their various options.

Our work for the RLumShiny 0.2.5 release concentrated on adding a bunch of new apps:

• aliquotsize to either estimate the number of grains on an aliquot or to compute the packing density (based on calc_AliquotSize());

One of the goals of the REPLAY project is to facilitate interfacing with the Luminescence package. This is a rather ambitious goal, but luckily there is already something available to make the use of Luminescence more direct and approachable.

The RLumShiny package integrates a bunch of Luminescence functions into a web-based app built on top of the shiny framework. This allows the users to work interactively with their data, letting them explore the available options and see how they affect the plots and results. This provides an easy entry point to discover what the package provides while performing an analysis of interest, or perhaps just playing around with sample data.
