Overview

About

Maintained by Alexander KowarikCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Graphical and statistical analyses of environmental data, with focus on analyzing chemical concentrations and physical parameters, usually in the context of mandated environmental monitoring. Major environmental statistical methods found in the literature and regulatory guidance documents, with extensive help that explains what these methods do, how to use them, and where to find them in the literature. Numerous built-in data sets from regulatory guidance documents and environmental statistics literature. Includes scripts reproducing analyses presented in the book "EnvStats: An R Package for Environmental Statistics" (Millard, 2013, Springer, ISBN 978-1-4614-8455-4, doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-8456-1).

Changes in 3.1.0

Fixed Equation (5) in the help file for rosnerTest: changed the "t" in the denominator to "t^2". Thanks to Andrea Gallonzelli for reporting this.
Added the argument ci.method to the function signTest and updated the help file.
Fixed the function chenTTest so that is correctly returns an objects of class "htestEnvStats".
Added/Updated the functions print, print.default, print.htest, print.htestEnvStats and associated help files. Objects of class "htest" will now print as before (e.g., what is shown in the Springer users manual "EnvStats: An R Package for Environmental Statistics") if you explicitly call the print() function. See the help files for print.htest and htest.object for examples.
Updated the help files FcnsByCatEstDistParams and FcnsByCatPrintPlot.
Updated the help files for enparCensored (noted there are instances where ProUCL 5.2.0 does not agree with enparCensored) and stripChart (expanded the description of the argument group.names).
Updated Table 1a in the help file for Distribution.df to show the lower range for Lognormal, Lognormal (Alternative), Lognormal Mixture, and Lognormal Mixture (Alternative) is "(0" in instead of "[0". Thanks to Piotr Stokłosa.

Install

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

install.packages("EnvStats", 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("alexkowa/EnvStats")

Development version from alexkowa/EnvStats. 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-envstats

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-EnvStats

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-EnvStats

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.
