About

Maintained by Haakon Eidem HaakstadFirst published 2020-05-0217 releasesCRAN page ↗

Package providing a number of functions for working with Two- and Four-parameter Beta and closely related distributions (i.e., the Gamma- Binomial-, and Beta-Binomial distributions). Includes, among other things: - d/p/q/r functions for Four-Parameter Beta distributions and Generalized "Binomial" (continuous) distributions, and d/p/r- functions for Beta- Binomial distributions. - d/p/q/r functions for Two- and Four-Parameter Beta distributions parameterized in terms of their means and variances rather than their shape-parameters. - Moment generating functions for Binomial distributions, Beta-Binomial distributions, and observed value distributions. - Functions for estimating classification accuracy and consistency, making use of the Classical Test-Theory based 'Livingston and Lewis' (L&L) and 'Hanson and Brennan' approaches. A shiny app is available, providing a GUI for the L&L approach when used for binary classifications. For url to the app, see documentation for the LL.CA() function.

Install

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

install.packages("betafunctions", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-betafunctions

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-betafunctions

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-betafunctions

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