Overview

About

Maintained by Jacob Helwig2 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A covariate-dependent approach to Gaussian graphical modeling as described in Dasgupta et al. (2022). Employs a novel weighted pseudo-likelihood approach to model the conditional dependence structure of data as a continuous function of an extraneous covariate. The main function, covdepGE::covdepGE(), estimates a graphical representation of the conditional dependence structure via a block mean-field variational approximation, while several auxiliary functions (inclusionCurve(), matViz(), and plot.covdepGE()) are included for visualizing the resulting estimates.

Install

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

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/covdepGE/covdepGE_1.0.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "covdepGE_1.0.1.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 (1.0.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("JacobHelwig/covdepGE")

Development version from JacobHelwig/covdepGE. 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-covdepge

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-covdepGE

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