Overview

About

Maintained by David SchruthFirst published 2009-09-0734 releasesCRAN page ↗

This R-extension package contains dozens of functions useful for: database style joins [nerge()] & aggregation [bestBy(), groupBy() & regroup()], database migration [dbWriteTable2()], file I/O [write.delim(), read.tab()], text parsing / data mining [m()], data structure conversion [nv(), tab2df()], summarizing & reporting [pct(), fit.1ln.rprt()], character string manipulation [m() & pad()], legend table making [sstable() & leghead()] & plot placement [legend.position()], plot annotation [labsegs() & mvlabs()], data visualization [pies(), spie(), & heatmatrix()], and data exploration [hyperplot(), plot.xy.ab.p()], batch scripting [parseArgString()]. The package's greatest contributions stem from its database style merge, aggregation and interface functions as well as in it's extensive use and propagation of row, column and vector names in most functions. The latest additions are plotting functions [confound.grid() & sparge()] that intake a dataframe & formulas to visually resolve variable confounding (Simpson, 1951).

Install

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

install.packages("caroline", 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-caroline

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-caroline

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-caroline

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