Overview

About

Maintained by Grant McDermottCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides 'ggplot2' equivalents of fixest::coefplot() and fixest::iplot(), for producing nice coefficient plots and interaction plots. Enables some additional functionality and convenience features, including grouped multi-'fixest' object faceting and programmatic updates to existing plots (e.g., themes and aesthetics).

Changes in 0.4.0

New features

Users can now supply a list of vcov arguments to compare multiple SE adjustments on the fly. (#65) ``r est = est = feols(flipper_len ~ bill_len | species, penguins) ggcoefplot(est, vcov = list("iid", "hc1", ~species)) ``

Bug fixes

The keep and drop arguments now work correctly with a list of models. Thanks to @femdias for the report. (#60)
If a (named) list of models if provided to either ggcoefplot or ggiplot then the original order is preserved for grouping and facet behaviour (#63)

Install

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

install.packages("ggfixest", 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("grantmcdermott/ggfixest")

Development version from grantmcdermott/ggfixest. 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-ggfixest

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-ggfixest

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-ggfixest

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.
