Overview

About

Maintained by Gilles CollingFirst published 2026-03-202 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Comprehensive toolkit for valid spatial, temporal, and grouped model evaluation. Automatically detects data dependencies (spatial autocorrelation, temporal structure, clustered observations), generates appropriate cross-validation schemes (spatial blocking, checkerboard, hexagonal, KNNDM, environmental blocking, leave-location-out, purged CV), and validates evaluation pipelines for leakage. Includes area of applicability (AOA) assessment following Meyer & Pebesma (2021) doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13650, forward feature selection with blocked CV, spatial thinning, block-permutation variable importance, extrapolation detection, and interactive visualizations. Integrates with 'tidymodels', 'caret', 'mlr3', 'ENMeval', and 'biomod2'. Based on evaluation principles described in Roberts et al. (2017) doi:10.1111/ecog.02881, Kaufman et al. (2012) doi:10.1145/2382577.2382579, Kapoor & Narayanan (2023) doi:10.1016/j.patter.2023.100804, and Linnenbrink et al. (2024) doi:10.5194/gmd-17-5897-2024.

Install

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

install.packages("BORG", 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("gcol33/BORG")

Development version from gcol33/BORG. 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-borg

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-BORG

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-BORG

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