Overview

About

Maintained by Arnab SamantaCRAN page ↗

Mapping, spatial analysis, and statistical modeling of microdata from sources such as the Demographic and Health Surveys https://www.dhsprogram.com/ and Integrated Public Use Microdata Series https://www.ipums.org/. It can also be extended to other datasets. The package supports spatial correlation index construction and visualization, along with empirical Bayes approximation of regression coefficients in a multistage setup. The main functionality is repeated regression — for example, if we have to run regression for n groups, the group ID should be vertically composed into the variable for the parameter `location_var`. It can perform various kinds of regression, such as Generalized Regression Models, logit, probit, and more. Additionally, it can incorporate interaction effects. The key benefit of the package is its ability to store the regression results performed repeatedly on a dataset by the group ID, along with respective p-values and map those estimates.

Install

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

install.packages("DHSr", 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-dhsr

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-DHSr

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-DHSr

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.
