Overview

About

Maintained by Athénaïs GautierCRAN page ↗

Provides tools for conditional and spatially dependent density estimation using Spatial Logistic Gaussian Processes (SLGPs). The approach represents probability densities through finite-rank Gaussian process priors transformed via a spatial logistic density transformation, enabling flexible non-parametric modeling of heterogeneous data. Functionality includes density prediction, quantile and moment estimation, sampling methods, and preprocessing routines for basis functions. Applications arise in spatial statistics, machine learning, and uncertainty quantification. The methodology builds on the framework of Leonard (1978) doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1978.tb01655.x, Lenk (1988) doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478625, Tokdar (2007) doi:10.1198/106186007X210206, Tokdar (2010) doi:10.1214/10-BA605, and is further aligned with recent developments in Bayesian non-parametric modelling: see Gautier (2023) https://boristheses.unibe.ch/4377/, and Gautier (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.02876).

Install

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

install.packages("SLGP", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-slgp

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-SLGP

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-SLGP

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.
