    Overview

    GLEON and CIDA (center for data analytics) at the USGS have developed two software packages written in the R statistical language to interact with GLM

    • GLM: lake model
    • GLMr: package designed to support scripted interactions with GLM_Software.
    • glmtools: tools to reproducible model results, adjust parameter files, and plot visualizations

    Why R?

    • Performace: stable, light and fast
    • Support network
      • documentation, community, developers
    • Reproducibility
      • anyone anywhere can reproduce results
      • enables dissemination - this presentation is a .Rmd file!
    • Versatility: unified solution to almost any numerical problem, graphical capabilities
    • Testing: integrated “R package” testing limits bugs
