Overview

About

Maintained by Gabriel LoewingerFirst published 2026-04-091 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Fits functional generalized estimating equations for longitudinal functional outcomes and covariates using a one-step estimator that is fast even for large cluster sizes or large numbers of clusters. The package supports quasi-likelihoods derived from a range of families, common link functions, and several working correlation structures. Uncertainty quantification is based on sandwich variance estimators and bootstrap procedures that remain valid even when the working correlation is incorrectly specified. The package provides an implementation of the method described in Loewinger et al. (2025) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12306803/. For irregularly spaced AR(1) precision matrices, the package can optionally use the archived package 'irregulAR1'; if needed, it can be obtained from the CRAN Archive at https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/irregulAR1/.

Install

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

install.packages("fastFGEE", 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("gloewing/fastFGEE")

Development version from gloewing/fastFGEE. 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-fastfgee

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-fastFGEE

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-fastFGEE

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