Overview

About

Maintained by Feiming Chen1 releasesCRAN page ↗

The Dirichlet (aka NBD-Dirichlet) model describes the purchase incidence and brand choice of consumer products. We estimate the model and summarize various theoretical quantities of interest to marketing researchers. Also provides functions for making tables that compare observed and theoretical statistics.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/dirichlet/dirichlet_1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "dirichlet_1.0.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) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
