Overview

About

Maintained by Hamada S. BadrFirst published 2014-05-0722 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A tool for Hierarchical Climate Regionalization applicable to any correlation-based clustering. It adds several features and a new clustering method (called, 'regional' linkage) to hierarchical clustering in R ('hclust' function in 'stats' library): data regridding, coarsening spatial resolution, geographic masking, contiguity-constrained clustering, data filtering by mean and/or variance thresholds, data preprocessing (detrending, standardization, and PCA), faster correlation function with preliminary big data support, different clustering methods, hybrid hierarchical clustering, multivariate clustering (MVC), cluster validation, visualization of regionalization results, and exporting region map and mean timeseries into NetCDF-4 file. The technical details are described in Badr et al. (2015) doi:10.1007/s12145-015-0221-7.

Install

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

install.packages("HiClimR", 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("hsbadr/HiClimR")

Development version from hsbadr/HiClimR. 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-hiclimr

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-HiClimR

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-HiClimR

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