Overview

About

Maintained by Biplab PaulFirst published 2023-08-081 releasesCRAN page ↗

Implements the EM algorithm with one-step Gradient Descent method to estimate the parameters of the Block-Basu bivariate Pareto distribution with location and scale. We also found parametric bootstrap and asymptotic confidence intervals based on the observed Fisher information of scale and shape parameters, and exact confidence intervals for location parameters. Details are in Biplab Paul and Arabin Kumar Dey (2023) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1608.02199 "An EM algorithm for absolutely continuous Marshall-Olkin bivariate Pareto distribution with location and scale"; E L Lehmann and George Casella (1998) doi:10.1007/b98854 "Theory of Point Estimation"; Bradley Efron and R J Tibshirani (1994) doi:10.1201/9780429246593 "An Introduction to the Bootstrap"; A P Dempster, N M Laird and D B Rubin (1977) <www.jstor.org/stable/2984875> "Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data via the EM Algorithm".

Install

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

install.packages("bvpa", 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-bvpa

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-bvpa

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-bvpa

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