Overview

About

Maintained by Ander WilsonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Estimation and interpretation of Bayesian distributed lag interaction models (BDLIMs). A BDLIM regresses a scalar outcome on repeated measures of exposure and allows for modification by a categorical variable under four specific patterns of modification. The main function is bdlim(). There are also summary and plotting files. Details on methodology are described in Wilson et al. (2017) doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxx002.

Changes in 0.5.0

Minor updates to allow for summary and plot.summary functions to work with bdlim1 objects. Now the bdlim1 model can be run to fit a single modification pattern and the same summary and plot functions apply.

The function bdlim1 now works with a only one group. This fits a Bayesian distributed lag model without modification.

Add new function getw to extract the posterior sample of the weight function from a bdlim1 object.

Install

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

install.packages("bdlim", 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("AnderWilson/bdlim")

Development version from AnderWilson/bdlim. 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-bdlim

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-bdlim

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-bdlim

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.
