LRE Analyzer older versions

[Andrew Mutka]

Hi,
I downloaded the most recent version of LRE analyzer for Mac OSX. However, it could not run because I do not have J2SE 6.0. My computer is running OS X 10.4, and apparently I cannot download any newer versions of Java SE beyond J2SE 5.0. Are there any older versions of LRE analyzer that would work on my system?
Thanks,
Andrew Mutka

Hi Andrew,

Unfortunately Mac hasn't been very consistent in their support of Java.

There are a few options:

1. If you have a Parallels partition you could just download the windows
version. I know Bob also has older versions that will work on windows.

2. You could try getting the new version to work via SoyLatte

3. You could also retool the Excel sheet from
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2397388/?tool=pubmed

Additionally, I have also coded parts of what the applet offers into
Matlab if that interests you.

Happy to help if I can.

Best,
Robert
