Overview

About

Maintained by Yang NiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Algorithms for ordinal causal discovery. This package aims to enable users to discover causality for observational ordinal categorical data with greedy and exhaustive search. See Ni, Y., & Mallick, B. (2022) https://proceedings.mlr.press/v180/ni22a/ni22a.pdf "Ordinal Causal Discovery. Proceedings of the 38th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, (UAI 2022), PMLR 180:1530–1540".

Install

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

install.packages("OrdCD", 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("nySTAT/OrdCD")

Development version from nySTAT/OrdCD. 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-ordcd

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

# 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-OrdCD

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.
