Overview

About

Maintained by Jiaojiao ZhouFirst published 2024-03-011 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides functionality of a statistical testing implementation whether a dataset comes from a symmetric distribution when the center of symmetry is unknown, including Wilcoxon test and sign test procedure. In addition, sample size determination for both tests is provided. The Wilcoxon test procedure is described in Vexler et al. (2023) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167947323000579, and the sign test is outlined in Gastwirth (1971) https://www.jstor.org/stable/2284233.

Install

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

install.packages("TestsSymmetry", 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-testssymmetry

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-TestsSymmetry

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-TestsSymmetry

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