mh1823 POD Algorithms:

The mh1823 POD algorithms use R for all data manipulation, statistical analysis, and graphics.

Proceed after you have R up and running.

How to install the mh1823 POD software:

You must have already downloaded MIL-HDBK-1823 POD files.zip and saved it to your mh1823 POD folder, and unzipped it, producing, among other things, the mh1823_2.4.3.zip file.

(If you have not already downloaded MIL-HDBK-1823 POD files.zip start here.)

Install the package.  To do that:

  1. Click on your mh1823 POD desktop icon to launch R.
  2. Within R, click on Packages, Install package(s) from local zip files ...
  3. If you have set up R correctly, the default directory, mh1823 POD, will contain mh1823_2.4.3.zip.  Click on it. That installs the package.   You only need to install the package once, but you will need to load it before you can use it.
  4. To load an installed package, click on Packages, Load package ... , and click on mh1823 in the drop-down menu.
  5. Finally, close R and Save workspace image.
  6. Step (5) creates some default plotting and printing parameter values and an invisible file that will automatically load mh1823, and the mh1823 POD menu, the next time you click on the mh1823 POD desktop icon.

Updating to the latest mh1823 POD release is simple:

  1. First detach the current package -  Type detach("package:mh1823") <enter>
  2. Next, click on Packages, Install package(s) from local zip files, and click on the updated zip file.
  3. Finally, click on Packages, Load package ... , and click on mh1823 in the drop-down meno.

(I have also installed both R and the mh1823 POD  package on a memory stick, so that you plug in the stick, click on the icon and you're in business.)

You are now ready to execute POD analysis using MIL-HDBK-1823 algorithms.

How to use the mh1823 POD Software:

  1. Double-click on the new mh1823 POD desktop icon .  R will open and you will see the mh1823 menu at the top.  Click on the menu and follow the Instructions.
  2. When you create a plot, it will be saved automatically in your mh1823 POD folder.  If the menu seems to disappear, that is because the cursor is in a graphics window.  To see the menu again, click on the code window.
