Overview

About

Maintained by Rafael Daníel ViasCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Fits a discharge rating curve based on the power-law and the generalized power-law from data on paired stage and discharge measurements in a given river using a Bayesian hierarchical model as described in Hrafnkelsson et al. (2022) doi:10.1002/env.2711.

Changes in 2.0.1

Fixed phantom observation variance bug in gplm0 and gplm: the phantom observation that centers the GP used zero variance, acting as an infinitely precise constraint that collapsed the posterior of b. Fixed by using the prior variance sig_b^2.
Fixed eta posterior scaling bug in plm and gplm: the standardized eta coefficients were not scaled by sigma_eta before applying the basis transformation P, resulting in incorrect B-spline coefficient posteriors.
Fixed sigma_beta back-transform bug in gplm0: stored values were sqrt(sigma_beta) instead of sigma_beta due to an incorrect sqrt(exp()) transform. This affected posterior summaries and plots for the sigma_beta parameter in the gplm0 model.
Updated reference in DESCRIPTION from arXiv preprint to the published Environmetrics paper (doi:10.1002/env.2711).

Install

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

install.packages("bdrc", 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("sor16/bdrc")

Development version from sor16/bdrc. 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-bdrc

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-bdrc

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-bdrc

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.
