Overview

About

Maintained by Francis HuangCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Estimate different types of cluster robust standard errors (CR0, CR1, CR2) with degrees of freedom adjustments. Standard errors are computed based on 'Liang and Zeger' (1986) doi:10.1093/biomet/73.1.13 and Bell and 'McCaffrey' https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2002002/article/9058-eng.pdf?st=NxMjN1YZ. Functions used in Huang and Li doi:10.3758/s13428-021-01627-0, Huang, 'Wiedermann', and 'Zhang' doi:10.1080/00273171.2022.2077290, and Huang, 'Zhang', and Li (forthcoming: Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness).

Changes in 0.2.1

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Added col/row names to the robust variance/covariance matrix
Adjusted the "meat" matrix so computations would still run even if only the intercept is used as a predictor (a null model)
Added tidy methods so CR2 objects can be used with other packages such as modelsummary or gtsummary
As of 2023.01.03

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("CR2", 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("flh3/CR2")

Development version from flh3/CR2. 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-cr2

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-CR2

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-CR2

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.
