Overview

About

Maintained by Chris BrienCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Assists in automating the selection of terms to include in mixed models when 'asreml' is used to fit the models. Procedures are available for choosing models that conform to the hierarchy or marginality principle, for fitting and choosing between two-dimensional spatial models using correlation, natural cubic smoothing spline and P-spline models. A history of the fitting of a sequence of models is kept in a data frame. Also used to compute functions and contrasts of, to investigate differences between and to plot predictions obtained using any model fitting function. The content falls into the following natural groupings: (i) Data, (ii) Model modification functions, (iii) Model selection and description functions, (iv) Model diagnostics and simulation functions, (v) Prediction production and presentation functions, (vi) Response transformation functions, (vii) Object manipulation functions, and (viii) Miscellaneous functions (for further details see 'asremlPlus-package' in help). The 'asreml' package provides a computationally efficient algorithm for fitting a wide range of linear mixed models using Residual Maximum Likelihood. It is a commercial package and a license for it can be purchased from 'VSNi' https://vsni.co.uk/ as 'asreml-R', who will supply a zip file for local installation/updating (see https://asreml.kb.vsni.co.uk/). It is not needed for functions that are methods for 'alldiffs' and 'data.frame' objects. The package 'asremPlus' can also be installed from http://chris.brien.name/rpackages/.

Changes in 4.4.65

Fix bug in determining the value of the argument k in the fa and rr functions used in the function estimateV.

From inst/NEWS.Rd in the release

Install

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

install.packages("asremlPlus", 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("briencj/asremlPlus")

Development version from briencj/asremlPlus. 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-asremlplus

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-asremlPlus

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-asremlPlus

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
