Overview

About

Maintained by Richard Daniel PayneCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Fits dose-response models utilizing a Bayesian model averaging approach as outlined in Gould (2019) doi:10.1002/bimj.201700211 for both continuous and binary responses. Longitudinal dose-response modeling is also supported in a Bayesian model averaging framework as outlined in Payne, Ray, and Thomann (2024) doi:10.1080/10543406.2023.2292214. Functions for plotting and calculating various posterior quantities (e.g. posterior mean, quantiles, probability of minimum efficacious dose, etc.) are also implemented. Copyright Eli Lilly and Company (2019).

Changes in 3.2.0

Remove automatic naming of models, now requires each model to be named (#34).
Fix bug where candidate models could not be plotted with data (#38).
Fix bug where binary data could not use summarized data.

Install

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

install.packages("dreamer", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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

Development version from rich-payne/dreamer. 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-dreamer

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-dreamer

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-dreamer

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
