Overview

About

Maintained by Benjamin W. Campbell6 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Frailty Exponential Random Graph Models estimated through pseudo likelihood with frailty terms estimated using 'Stan' as per Box-Steffensmeier et. al (2017) doi:10.7910/DVN/K3D1M2. Goodness of fit for Frailty Exponential Random Graph Models is also available, with easy visualizations for comparison to fit Exponential Random Graph Models.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fergm/fergm_1.1.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "fergm_1.1.4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.1.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("benjamin-w-campbell/fergm")

Development version from benjamin-w-campbell/fergm. 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-fergm

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

# 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-fergm

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