Overview

About

Maintained by Kauê de SousaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Methods to analyse experimental agriculture data, from data synthesis to model selection and visualisation. The package is named after W.S. Gosset aka ‘Student’, a pioneer of modern statistics in small sample experimental design and analysis.

Changes in 1.5.1

NEW FEATURES

Added preference_index() to compute a model-based preference index from Plackett–Luce worth parameters. The function reports, for each item:
expected top probability (%),
expected bottom probability (%),
net winning probability (%), and
normalized worth.
Added rank_tricot2() — a redesigned ranking parser for *tricot* data. The function:
handles ties and missing values more robustly,
enforces stricter validation of A–B–C syntax,

provides clearer error messages, and
returns rankings in a format consistent with Plackett–Luce models.

IMPROVEMENTS

Updated internal utilities in rank_numeric() to interface with rank_tricot2() for improved performance and error handling.
Minor internal cleanup (no user-visible behavioural changes).

BUG FIXES

None reported for this release.

Install

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

install.packages("gosset", 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("agrdatasci/gosset")

Development version from agrdatasci/gosset. 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-gosset

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-gosset

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-gosset

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.
