Overview

About

Maintained by Daphné GiorgiCRAN page ↗

Algorithms for robust multivariate statistics (STochAstic Robust multivaRiate Statistics) including geometric median and geometric median covariance computation, k-medians clustering and robust median Principal Compenents Analysis (PCA), robust estimation of parameters for Gaussian, Student, or Laplace mixture models. 'STARRS' provides an independent, clean, consolidated and cohesive framework, while drawing inspiration from the approaches implemented in packages 'Gmedian', 'Kmedians', 'RGMM', 'RobRegression'. Methods used in the package refer to H. Robbins, S. Monro (1951) doi:10.1214/aoms/1177729586; D. Kraus, V. M. Panaretos (2012) doi:10.1093/biomet/ass037; H. Cardot, A. Godichon-Baggioni (2015) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1504.02852; A. Godichon-Baggioni, S. Robin (2024) doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10362-9.

Install

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

install.packages("STARRS", 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-starrs

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-STARRS

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-STARRS

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.
