Overview

About

Maintained by Anand PanigrahyFirst published 2024-12-172 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Simple and user-friendly wrappers to the 'saemix' package for performing linear and non-linear mixed-effects regression modeling for growth data to account for clustering or longitudinal analysis via repeated measurements. The package allows users to fit a variety of growth models, including linear, exponential, logistic, and 'Gompertz' functions. For non-linear models, starting values are automatically calculated using initial least-squares estimates. The package includes functions for summarizing models, visualizing data and results, calculating doubling time and other key statistics, and generating model diagnostic plots and residual summary statistics. It also provides functions for generating publication-ready summary tables for reports. Additionally, users can fit linear and non-linear least-squares regression models if clustering is not applicable. The mixed-effects modeling methods in this package are based on Comets, Lavenu, and Lavielle (2017) doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i03 as implemented in the 'saemix' package. Please contact us at models@dfci.harvard.edu with any questions.

Install

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

install.packages("GrowthCurveME", 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("cancermodels-org/GrowthCurveME")

Development version from cancermodels-org/GrowthCurveME. 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-growthcurveme

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-GrowthCurveME

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-GrowthCurveME

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
