Overview

About

Maintained by Klaus NordhausenCRAN page ↗

Independent component analysis based on distance correlation, including a robust variant using the bowl transformation. The package provides user-facing implementations of distance covariance and distance correlation, including memory-efficient blockwise computations for large data sets. It includes a sequential ICA estimator based on minimizing distance correlation, as well as tools for analyzing serial dependence via distance autocorrelation, dependograms, and permutation-based tests. In addition, it provides functions for testing serial dependence based on distance correlation and the Hilbert–Schmidt independence criterion. The methodology is related to Matteson and Tsay (2017) doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1150851 and to the robust framework of Leyder et al. (2026) doi:10.1007/s11634-026-00674-9.

Install

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

install.packages("dcorBSS", 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-dcorbss

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-dcorBSS

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
