Overview

About

Maintained by Lennart OelschlägerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Fits Bayesian probit models for binary, multinomial, ordered, and ranked choices in cross-sectional and panel data. Correlated or uncorrelated normal and log-normal random coefficients, finite mixtures, sparse finite mixtures, and Dirichlet process mixtures describe preference heterogeneity. Multiple Gibbs chains produce posterior draws for diagnostics and choice prediction. Choice data can be supplied as a data frame or simulated from the requested specification. For an overarching treatment of the methodology, see Oelschlaeger (2026) https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/record/3014719. The latent-class model is described in Oelschlaeger and Bauer (2021) https://trid.trb.org/view/1759753.

Changes in 2.0.1

plot() has the new option type = "mixture", which draws the estimated mixing distributions of the random effects.
bayes_factor() now accepts models with a fixed number of up to six latent classes.
Ordered choice models now include an intercept by default.
The occupancy table of latent_class_diagnostics() lists every number of classes from one to the maximum, including numbers with probability zero.
Every chain starts at a draw from the prior distributions of the coefficients and thresholds, with the deciders allocated to the classes at random, instead of at the prior means, so that the chains start dispersed.
Cap the progress updates to prevent that many fast updates freeze the RStudio console.

Install

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

install.packages("RprobitB", 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("loelschlaeger/RprobitB")

Development version from loelschlaeger/RprobitB. 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-rprobitb

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-RprobitB

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-RprobitB

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.
