Overview

About

Maintained by Aurelien NicosiaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Implements regression models for circular response data, including homogeneous angular regression, consensus angular regression, a two-step workflow, selected special-case model wrappers, and a random-intercept extension for clustered circular outcomes. The main methodology follows Rivest et al. (2016) "A General Angular Regression Model for the Analysis of Data on Animal Movement in Ecology" doi:10.1111/rssc.12124.

Changes in 0.5.1

Add the main methodological reference to DESCRIPTION in CRAN auto-linking format.
Document return values for exported S3-method help pages.
Replace commented code in the multiplebison examples with executable code.

Install

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

install.packages("CircularRegression", 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("AurelienNicosiaULaval/CircularRegression")

Development version from AurelienNicosiaULaval/CircularRegression. 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-circularregression

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-CircularRegression

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

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