Overview

About

Maintained by Diego GallardoCRAN page ↗

Provide estimation and data generation tools for new multivariate frailty models. This version includes the gamma, inverse Gaussian, weighted Lindley, Birnbaum-Saunders, truncated normal, mixture of inverse Gaussian, mixture of Birnbaum-Saunders, generalized exponential, Jorgensen-Seshadri-Whitmore, weighted Akash, weighted Shanker and weighted Sujatha as the distribution for frailty terms. For the basal model, it is considered a parametric approach based on the exponential, Weibull and the piecewise exponential distributions as well as a semiparametric approach. For details, see Gallardo et al. (2024) doi:10.1007/s11222-024-10458-w, Gallardo et al. (2025) doi:10.1002/bimj.70044, Kiprotich et al. (2025) doi:10.1177/09622802251338984, Gallardo et al.

Install

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

install.packages("extrafrail", 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-extrafrail

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-extrafrail

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-extrafrail

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.
