Overview

About

Maintained by Max KuhnCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Raw and processed versions of the data from De Cock (2011) http://ww2.amstat.org/publications/jse are included in the package.

Changes in 0.0.4

ames_schools has been renamed to ames_schools_geo for consistency with other datasets carrying long-lat data. The school names are amended to indicate full name of the school.
A new spatial dataset ames_school_districts_sf describes Elementary School District boundaries and includes district name (coinciding with the name of the school) and the polygon/multipolygon outline in sf format (using CRS 4326).
make_ames_new() creates a data set of new properties. These were populated using less data sources than the original and lack a number of the condition and quality. Both properties were unsold at the time of this writing.
As a consequence of the new properties, a new neighborhood (Hayden_Lake) is now a factor level where the data from make_ames() has no data for.

Install

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

install.packages("AmesHousing", 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/")

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-ameshousing

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-AmesHousing

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-AmesHousing

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
