Overview

About

Maintained by Michael ThomasCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Ketchbrook Analytics

Parses financial condition and performance data (Call Reports) for institutions in the United States Farm Credit System. Contains functions for downloading files from the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Call Report archive website and reading the files into tidy data frame format. The archive website can be found at https://www.fca.gov/bank-oversight/call-report-data-for-download.

Changes in 0.1.7

Bug Fix

process_data() no longer prints a note about FCA's 2024 data when it hits an error. The 2024 files in the AWS S3 bucket are now fixed, so the note is out of date. Errors from process_data() are now raised as normal errors instead of being printed (#47).
download_data() now fails gracefully, per CRAN policy on packages that use Internet resources. If the data can't be downloaded (e.g., there is no internet connection, the AWS S3 bucket is unavailable, or there is no data for the requested year and month) or unzipped, download_data() prints an informative message and returns FALSE (invisibly) instead of throwing an error. It returns TRUE (invisibly) on success (#47).
Examples that download data now only run when an internet connection is available (#47).
Unit tests that download data now skip when there is no internet connection, and on CRAN, per CRAN policy on packages that use Internet resources (#47).

Documentation

The download_data() documentation now explains that the 2024 RCR7 data files in the AWS S3 bucket differ from FCA's files. Ketchbrook added the rows that FCA's files are missing (#23, #46).

Install

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

install.packages("fcall", 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("ketchbrookanalytics/fcall")

Development version from ketchbrookanalytics/fcall. 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-fcall

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-fcall

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-fcall

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.
