Overview

About

Maintained by Kailas VenkitasubramanianCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Fits Bayesian mixed-effects (multilevel) quantile regression models using the asymmetric Laplace working likelihood and Stan. Supports an 'lme4'-style formula interface with nested and crossed random effects, fitting one or several quantiles, post-hoc non-crossing rearrangement of fitted quantiles, and the Yang, Wang and He (2016) posterior-variance correction for valid frequentist inference from the (misspecified) asymmetric Laplace posterior.

Changes in 0.1.0

First release.

bqmm() — Bayesian mixed-effects quantile regression via the asymmetric Laplace likelihood and Stan, with an lme4-style formula interface (y ~ x + (1 + x | group)) supporting nested and crossed random effects.
cov = "diagonal" (default) or cov = "unstructured" — the latter adds LKJ-correlated random effects for a single grouping factor; VarCorr() reports the posterior-median correlation matrix.
Fitting one or several quantiles in a single call (a vector tau).
Post-hoc non-crossing rearrangement of fitted quantiles (Chernozhukov, Fernandez-Val and Galichon, 2010).
Yang, Wang and He (2016) posterior-variance correction for valid frequentist inference, exposed through vcov(object, adjusted = TRUE).

Install

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

install.packages("bqmm", 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("kvenkita/bqmm")

Development version from kvenkita/bqmm. 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-bqmm

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-bqmm

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-bqmm

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.
