# Install 'handwriter' in R:

install.packages('handwriter', repos = c('https://cran.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

Bug tracker:https://github.com/csafe-isu/handwriter/issues

Uses libs:

c++– GNU Standard C++ Library v3
jags– Just Another Gibbs Sampler for Bayesian MCMC - binary JAGS is Just Another Gibbs Sampler. It is a program for analysis of Bayesian hierarchical models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation not wholly unlike BUGS. JAGS was written with three aims in mind: * To have an engine for the BUGS language that runs on Unix * To be extensible, allowing users to write their own functions, distributions and samplers. * To be a plaftorm for experimentation with ideas in Bayesian modelling This package contains the 'jags' binary as well as the associated shared library modules loaded by the binary.

Datasets:

csafe - Cursive written word: csafe
example_analysis - Example of writership analysis
example_cluster_template - Example cluster template
example_model - Example of a hierarchical model
london - Cursive written word: London
message - Full page image of the handwritten London letter.
nature1 - Full page image of the 4th sample (nature) of handwriting from the first writer.
templateK40 - Cluster Template with 40 Clusters
twoSent - Two sentence printed example handwriting
