Overview

About

Maintained by Diogo RibeiroCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides a unified set of heteroscedasticity diagnostics for linear-model workflows. It implements classical auxiliary-regression tests, including those of White (1980) doi:10.2307/1912934, Breusch and Pagan (1979) doi:10.2307/1911963, Koenker (1981) doi:10.1016/0304-4076(81)90062-2, Goldfeld and Quandt (1965) doi:10.1080/01621459.1965.10480811 and Harvey (1976) doi:10.2307/1913974; the score test of Cook and Weisberg (1983) doi:10.1093/biomet/70.1.1; the ARCH test of Engle (1982) doi:10.2307/1912773; and group-wise tests of equal variance, including those of Bartlett (1937) doi:10.1098/rspa.1937.0109, Brown and Forsythe (1974) doi:10.1080/01621459.1974.10482955 and Hartley (1950) doi:10.2307/2332383. Resampling and scalable variants, simulation utilities, diagnostic visualisation and remediation helpers share a consistent interface designed for reproducible statistical workflows and integration with common modelling tools.

Changes in 0.11.2

Changes requested by the CRAN review of the 0.11.1 submission. No statistic,

default or exported function changes.

The Description field no longer says "in R", and now cites the methods the package implements, with DOIs: White (1980), Breusch and Pagan (1979), Koenker (1981), Goldfeld and Quandt (1965), Harvey (1976), Cook and Weisberg (1983), Engle (1982), Bartlett (1937), Brown and Forsythe (1974) and Hartley (1950).
No example reaches an unexported object through :::. The six help pages that did -- for rhandleMissingValues(), rTEST_REQUIREMENTS, rvalidateDataInputs(), rvalidateDistributionalAssumptions(), rvalidateGroupingVariable() and rvalidateModelInputs() -- document internal objects, where :: would fail. Their examples are removed rather than the objects exported.

No example uses \dontrun{}. The recommendations example runs in well under a second and is unwrapped. The report example takes about ten seconds and needs pandoc, so it runs under \donttest{} behind rmarkdown::pandoc_available() and writes to tempdir(). The dashboard example is guarded by interactive(), since printing the Shiny application it returns starts a blocking server.
The \donttest{} part of the performWhiteTestBootstrap() example uses 499 bootstrap replications rather than 999. With that part included, as R CMD check --as-cran runs it, the example took 5.0 to 5.7 seconds, over the five-second limit for examples; it now takes about 1.7 seconds.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("heteroTests", 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("DiogoRibeiro7/heteroTests")

Development version from DiogoRibeiro7/heteroTests. 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-heterotests

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-heteroTests

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-heteroTests

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.
