Overview

About

Maintained by Felix WillemsFirst published 2026-01-274 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

Provides a framework for multipurpose optimal resource allocation in survey sampling, extending the classical optimal allocation principles introduced by Tschuprow (1923) and Neyman (1934) to multidomain and multivariate allocation problems. The primary method mosalloc() allows for the consideration of precision and cost constraints at the subpopulation level while minimizing either a vector of sampling errors or survey costs across a broad range of optimal sample allocation problems. The approach supports both single- and multistage designs. For single-stage stratified random sampling, the mosallocSTRS() function offers a user- friendly interface. Sensitivity analysis is supported through the problem's dual variables, which are naturally obtained via the internal use of the Embedded Conic Solver from the 'ECOSolveR' package. See Willems (2025, doi:10.25353/ubtr-9200-484c-5c89) for a detailed description of the theory behind 'MOSAlloc'.

Install

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

install.packages("MOSAlloc", 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("willemsf/mosalloc")

Development version from willemsf/mosalloc. 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-mosalloc

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-MOSAlloc

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-MOSAlloc

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