Overview

About

Maintained by Matteo Sesia2 releasesCRAN page ↗

Model-free knockoffs are a general procedure for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) when performing variable selection. For more information, see the website below and the accompanying paper: Candes et al., "Panning for Gold: Model-free Knockoffs for High-dimensional Controlled Variable Selection", 2016, arXiv:1610.02351.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MFKnockoffs/MFKnockoffs_0.9.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "MFKnockoffs_0.9.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.9.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
