Overview

About

Maintained by Kleanthis NatsiopoulosFirst published 2020-04-108 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Creates complex autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models and constructs the underlying unrestricted and restricted error correction model (ECM) automatically, just by providing the order. It also performs the bounds-test for cointegration as described in Pesaran et al. (2001) doi:10.1002/jae.616 and provides the multipliers and the cointegrating equation. The validity and the accuracy of this package have been verified by successfully replicating the results of Pesaran et al. (2001) in Natsiopoulos and Tzeremes (2022) doi:10.1002/jae.2919.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("ARDL", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("Natsiopoulos/ARDL")

Development version from Natsiopoulos/ARDL. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-ardl

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ARDL

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ARDL

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
