Overview

About

Maintained by Ridson Al Farizal PCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides high-performance implementations of Small Area Estimation (SAE) methods leveraging C++ ('Rcpp', 'RcppArmadillo') and 'OpenMP' multi-threading. Supports standard area-level Fay-Herriot models (Fay and Herriot, 1979 doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505), Spatial Fay-Herriot models (Pratesi and Salvati, 2008 doi:10.1002/env.861), Spatio-Temporal Fay-Herriot models (Marhuenda et al., 2013 doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.01.016), and unit-level Battese-Harter-Fuller models (Battese et al., 1988 doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478561). Features include empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP), analytical and bootstrap Mean Squared Error (MSE) estimation, automatic handling of unsampled domains, and modern S3 diagnostic methods.

Install

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

install.packages("fastsae", 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("ridsonap/fastsae")

Development version from ridsonap/fastsae. 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-fastsae

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-fastsae

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-fastsae

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.
