Overview

About

Maintained by Sadikul IslamFirst published 2026-04-201 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides a comprehensive, modular framework for computing the Soil Quality Index (SQI) using six established methods: Linear Scoring (Doran and Parkin, 1994, doi:10.2136/sssaspecpub35.c1), Regression-based (Masto et al., 2008, doi:10.1007/s10661-007-9697-z), Principal Component Analysis-based (Andrews et al., 2004, doi:10.2136/sssaj2004.1945), Fuzzy Logic, Entropy Weighting (Shannon, 1948, doi:10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x), and TOPSIS (Hwang and Yoon, 1981, doi:10.1007/978-3-642-48318-9). Implements four variable scoring functions: more-is-better, less-is-better, optimum-value, and trapezoidal, following Karlen and Stott (1994, doi:10.2136/sssaspecpub35.c4). Includes automated Minimum Data Set selection via Principal Component Analysis with Variance Inflation Factor filtering (Kaiser, 1960, doi:10.1177/001316446002000116), one-way ANOVA with Tukey HSD post-hoc tests, leave-one-out sensitivity analysis, and publication-quality visualization using 'ggplot2'.

Install

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

install.packages("SQIpro", 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-sqipro

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

# 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-SQIpro

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-SQIpro

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