Overview

About

Maintained by Nicolai MeinshausenFirst published 2023-07-065 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Fits engression models for nonlinear distributional regression. Predictors and targets can be univariate or multivariate. Functionality includes estimation of conditional mean, estimation of conditional quantiles, or sampling from the fitted distribution. Training is done full-batch on CPU (the python version offers GPU-accelerated stochastic gradient descent). Based on "Engression: Extrapolation through the lens of distributional regression" by Xinwei Shen and Nicolai Meinshausen (2024) in JRSSB. Also supports classification (experimental). doi:10.1093/jrsssb/qkae108.

Install

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

install.packages("engression", 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("xwshen51/engression")

Development version from xwshen51/engression. 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-engression

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-engression

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-engression

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