Overview

About

Maintained by Mengzhen HuFirst published 2026-07-041 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a compact C++ backend for Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) with a thin R frontend. The current implementation is primarily a C++ reimplementation of offline ABC workflows provided by the R 'abc' package doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.abc, with the public R interface intentionally kept small and centered on abc() and summary() methods. The computational work is performed by shared C++ code. In addition to reproducing common 'abc' workflows, the package adds optional dimensionality reduction of summary statistics through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares (PLS), following related ideas described by Bazin et al. (2010) doi:10.1534/genetics.109.112391 and Wegmann et al. (2009) doi:10.1534/genetics.109.102509.

Install

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

install.packages("abcpp", 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("yuki-961004/abcpp")

Development version from yuki-961004/abcpp. 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-abcpp

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-abcpp

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-abcpp

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