Overview

About

Maintained by Terrance SavitskyCRAN page ↗

Estimates a collection of time-indexed functions under either of Gaussian process (GP) or intrinsic Gaussian Markov random field (iGMRF) prior formulations where a Dirichlet process mixture allows sub-groupings of the functions to share the same covariance or precision parameters. The GP and iGMRF formulations both support any number of additive covariance or precision terms, respectively, expressing either or both of multiple trend and seasonality.

Changes in 0.17

Changes Rcpp::arma::is_finite(X) to X.is_finite() in dpmix.cpp and dpmix_count.cpp
Added an Authors@R tag in DESCRIPTION
Replaced "size" option in geom_line with "linewidth" in gp_cluster_plot.R

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/growfunctions/growfunctions_0.17.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "growfunctions_0.17.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 (0.17) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
