Overview

About

Maintained by Kinspride DuahFirst published 2025-05-135 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides an accessible and robust implementation of core BME methodologies for spatial prediction. It enables the systematic integration of heterogeneous data sources including both hard data (precise measurements) and soft interval data (bounded or uncertain observations) while incorporating prior knowledge and supporting variogram-based spatial modeling. The BME methodology is described in Christakos (1990) doi:10.1007/BF00890661, Serre and Christakos (1999) doi:10.1007/s004770050029 and Duah (2025, 2026) doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2026.100974.

Install

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

install.packages("BMEmapping", 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("KinsprideDuah/BMEmapping")

Development version from KinsprideDuah/BMEmapping. 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-bmemapping

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-BMEmapping

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-BMEmapping

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