Overview

About

Maintained by Maria D. GuillenFirst published 2023-05-151 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Includes functions to estimate production frontiers and make ideal output predictions in the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) context using both standard models from DEA and Free Disposal Hull (FDH) and boosting techniques. In particular, EATBoosting (Guillen et al., 2023 doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2022.119134) and MARSBoosting. Moreover, the package includes code for estimating several technical efficiency measures using different models such as the input and output-oriented radial measures, the input and output-oriented Russell measures, the Directional Distance Function (DDF), the Weighted Additive Measure (WAM) and the Slacks-Based Measure (SBM).

Install

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

install.packages("boostingDEA", 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("itsmeryguillen/boostingDEA")

Development version from itsmeryguillen/boostingDEA. 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-boostingdea

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-boostingDEA

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-boostingDEA

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