Overview

About

Maintained by Yuxia LiangFirst published 2026-07-011 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Produces report-ready baseline equivalence tables for impact evaluations in education research, following the conventions of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). Computes standardized mean differences (Hedges' g) between treatment and comparison groups for continuous covariates and classifies each covariate into the WWC baseline-equivalence categories (satisfied, satisfied with statistical adjustment, or not satisfied).

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-baselinr

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-baselinr

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-baselinr

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