Overview

About

Maintained by Zihang WangCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides an implementation of the Sparse ICA method in Wang et al. (2024) doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2370593 for estimating sparse independent source components of cortical surface functional MRI data, by addressing a non-smooth, non-convex optimization problem through the relax-and-split framework. This method effectively balances statistical independence and sparsity while maintaining computational efficiency.

Install

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

install.packages("SparseICA", 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("thebrisklab/SparseICA")

Development version from thebrisklab/SparseICA. 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-sparseica

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-SparseICA

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

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