Overview

About

Maintained by Andrew RobbinsCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

'Rcpp' bindings for 'PLANC', a highly parallel and extensible NMF/NTF (Non-negative Matrix/Tensor Factorization) library. Wraps algorithms described in Kannan et. al (2018) doi:10.1109/TKDE.2017.2767592 and Eswar et. al (2021) doi:10.1145/3432185. Implements algorithms described in Welch et al. (2019) doi:10.1016/j.cell.2019.05.006, Gao et al. (2021) doi:10.1038/s41587-021-00867-x, and Kriebel & Welch (2022) doi:10.1038/s41467-022-28431-4.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("RcppPlanc", 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("welch-lab/RcppPlanc")

Development version from welch-lab/RcppPlanc. 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-rcppplanc

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

# 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-RcppPlanc

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
