About

Maintained by Jasper WatsonFirst published 2020-04-103 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a convenient way of accessing data published by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) on their website, https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/statistics. A range of financial and economic data is provided in spreadsheet format including exchange and interest rates, commercial lending statistics, Reserve Bank market operations, financial institution statistics, household financial data, New Zealand debt security information, and economic indicators. This package provides a method to download those spreadsheets and read them directly into R.

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-rbnz

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

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-RBNZ

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-RBNZ

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