Overview

About

Maintained by Zijian GuoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

The goal of SIHR is to provide inference procedures in the high-dimensional generalized linear regression setting for: (1) linear functionals doi:10.48550/arXiv.1904.12891 doi:10.48550/arXiv.2012.07133, (2) conditional average treatment effects, (3) quadratic functionals doi:10.48550/arXiv.1909.01503, (4) inner product, (5) distance.

Changes in 2.1.1

Bug fixes

**CVXR 1.8 compatibility**: Updated to work with CVXR 1.8.x which introduced breaking API changes. The package now supports both CVXR 1.0.x and 1.8.x:
Replaced deprecated getValue() with new value() API
Replaced result$status with status(prob) where applicable
Treat optimal_inaccurate as successful (CVXR 1.8 may return this instead of optimal)
**Robust error handling in compute_direction()**: Fixed vignette build failure (object 'direction' not found) when CVXR throws errors (e.g., on CRAN check servers). The function now reliably falls back to the diagonal approximation when CVXR fails, using is.null(direction) instead of <<- assignment which could fail with rlang-based errors.
**Numerical stability**: Added safeguard against near-zero diagonal elements in the fallback Sigma.hat when using the diagonal approximation.

Install

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

install.packages("SIHR", 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("zywang0701/SIHR")

Development version from zywang0701/SIHR. 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-sihr

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-SIHR

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-SIHR

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.
