Overview

About

Maintained by William Fairweather6 releasesCRAN page ↗

Randomly reassigns the group identifications to one of the variables of the database, say Treatment, and randomly reassigns the observation numbers of the dataset. Reorders the observations according to these new numbers. Centers each group of Treatment at the grand mean in order to further mask the treatment. An unmasking function is provided so that the user can identify the potential outliers in terms of their original values when blinding is no longer needed. It is suggested that a forward search procedure be performed on the masked data. Details of some forward search functions may be found in https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=forsearch.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/blindreview/blindreview_2.0.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "blindreview_2.0.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (2.0.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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-blindreview

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

# 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-blindreview

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