Overview

About

Maintained by Layla ParastFirst published 2024-04-095 releasesCRAN page ↗

Uses a novel rank-based nonparametric approach to evaluate a surrogate marker in a small sample size setting. Details are described in Parast et al (2024) doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujad035, in Hughes A et al (2025) doi:10.1002/sim.70241, and in Hughes A et al (2026) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.03819. A tutorial for this package can be found at https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogaterank and a Shiny App implementing the package can be found at https://parastlab.shinyapps.io/SurrogateRankApp/.

Install

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

install.packages("SurrogateRank", 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-surrogaterank

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-SurrogateRank

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-SurrogateRank

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