Provides the Saylac Shiny application for multidisciplinary analysis of global, national, and regional indicators observed across places and years. SAYLAC abbreviates Spatial Analysis of Yearly, Longitudinal, and Areal Change. The platform supports spatial diagnostics, longitudinal data exploration, time-series diagnostics, comparative forecasting, and automated reporting for development, health, education, economic, environmental, and social indicators. The application implements three connected modules: Spatial Analysis Workflow for exploratory spatial data analysis, Single Model Diagnostics for stationarity testing, trend diagnostics, and comparative forecasting, and Spatial Uncertainty and Reporting Analysis Dashboard for forecast mapping, spatial clustering, and reporting. The application supports choropleth mapping, Moran's I, Geary's C, Local Indicators of Spatial Association, Getis-Ord Gi star statistics, spatial correlograms, Theil-Sen trend estimation, Mann-Kendall testing, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average models, Exponential Smoothing State Space models, neural network autoregression, BATS, TBATS, theta forecasting, symmetric mean absolute percentage error model comparison, and report generation. The platform was first applied in Touryare and Mohamud (2026) doi:10.1007/s43621-026-04022-x for integrated spatial-temporal forecasting of educational attainment in Eastern Africa toward Sustainable Development Goal 4.

Install

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

install.packages("Saylac", 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-saylac

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-Saylac

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
