Overview

About

Maintained by Andreas FüglistalerCRAN page ↗Bitbucket ↗

A Bayesian tool to test for population trends and changes in trends under arbitrary designs, including before-after (BA), control-intervention (CI) and before-after-control-intervention (BACI) designs commonly used to assess conservation impact. It infers changes in trends jointly from data obtained with multiple survey methods, as well as from limited and noisy data not necessarily collected in standardized ecological surveys. Observed counts can be modeled as following either a Poisson or a negative binomial model, and both deterministic and stochastic trend models are available. For more details on the model see Singer et al. (2025) doi:10.1101/2025.01.08.631844, and the file 'AUTHORS' for a list of copyright holders and contributors.

Changes in 0.9.0

Addressed CRAN installation failures on several servers:

More fallbacks for cmake path
Use R-defined CC, CXX and CXXFLAGS
Remove unnecessary test-files (which caused warnings)
Added third party library contributors and inst/COPYRIGHT

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("birp", 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-birp

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-birp

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
