Overview

About

Maintained by Antonio D'AmbrosioCRAN page ↗

Tree-based classification and soft-clustering method for preference rankings, with tools for external validation of fuzzy clustering, and Kemeny-equivalent augmented unfolding. It contains the recursive partitioning algorithm for preference rankings, non-parametric tree-based method for a matrix of preference rankings as a response variable. It contains also the distribution-free soft clustering method for preference rankings, namely the K-median cluster component analysis (CCA). The package depends on the 'ConsRank' R package. Options for validate the tree-based method are both test-set procedure and V-fold cross validation. The package contains the routines to compute the adjusted concordance index (a fuzzy version of the adjusted rand index) and the normalized degree of concordance (the corresponding fuzzy version of the rand index). The package also contains routines to perform the Kemeny-equivalent augmented unfolding. The mds endine is the function 'sacofSym' from the package 'smacof'.

Install

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

install.packages("ConsRankClass", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-consrankclass

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-ConsRankClass

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-ConsRankClass

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.
