Overview

About

Maintained by Genaro SucarratCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Automated General-to-Specific (GETS) modelling of the mean and variance of a regression, and indicator saturation methods for detecting and testing for structural breaks in the mean, see Pretis, Reade and Sucarrat (2018) doi:10.18637/jss.v086.i03 for an overview of the package. In advanced use, the estimator and diagnostics tests can be fully user-specified, see Sucarrat (2021) doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-024.

Changes in 0.40

stylistic changes to DESCRIPTION file
print.logitx(): bug-fix, p-values are now correct (earlier they were half the correct size)
larch(): new argument 'user.estimator'
gets.larch(): new default (FALSE) on argument 'include.1cut'
changes to regressorsVariance():
new argument 'arch.prefix'
new argument 'log.regressand'
changes to isat() and related functions:
new functions create.ISmatrices(), ISMatricesLoop(), ISadditionalblocksearch() and ISblocksFun() to improve isat() structure
include.gum() argument is now active again (small change in coef.isat() and isat.lm() to reflect that as well)
improved algorithm to deal with small sample challenges
improved error messaging within isat()

Show all changes in 0.40Hide the rest of the changes in 0.40

small changes to isat.arx() and iim() to standardise behaviour of column naming
algorithm to deal with small sample challenges is controlled by the argument 'additional.block.search' and disabled by default with a clear error message
isat() now allows the case of no selected indicator saturation method (will just run arx() in the end but return an isat() object)
print.isat(): Now includes a printed note when include.gum = TRUE and indicators with a p.value > t.pval are retained
predict.isat(): indicator predictions are now created automatically based on the detected indicators in the isat object. If they are still supplied, the supplied ones will be used (with a message) to ensure backward compatability.
as.arx.isat(): new function to convert an isat() object to an arx() object
as.isat(): new function to convert gets or arx objects to an isat() object
gets.isat(): use the new as.arx.isat() function within gets.isat()
expanded test files and documentation
bug fix in isat() related to the estimation.counter

From NEWS in the release

Install

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

install.packages("gets", 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("gsucarrat/gets")

Development version from gsucarrat/gets. 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-gets

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-gets

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-gets

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.
