Overview

About

Maintained by Layla ParastFirst published 2024-12-083 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions sufficient to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of conditional mean functions, and non-negative residual treatment effect. Details are described in: Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L (2026). "Avoiding the surrogate paradox: an empirical framework for assessing assumptions." Journal of Nonparametric Statistics doi:10.1080/10485252.2025.2498609. There are also functions to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox via calculation of the resilience probability, the resilience bound, and the resilience set. Details will be available in Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L, "Resilience Measures for the Surrogate Paradox" (Under Review). Lastly, there is a function to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox in the met-analytic setting, described in Hsiao E and Parast L, "A Functional-Class Meta-Analytic Framework for Quantifying Surrogate Resilience" (Under Review). A tutorial for this package can be found at https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogateparadoxtest.

Install

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

install.packages("SurrogateParadoxTest", 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-surrogateparadoxtest

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-SurrogateParadoxTest

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-SurrogateParadoxTest

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