Overview

About

Maintained by Gianfranco PirasCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Spatial heterogeneity can be specified in various ways. 'hspm' is an ambitious project that aims at implementing various methodologies to control for heterogeneity in spatial models. The current version of 'hspm' deals with spatial and (non-spatial) regimes models. In particular, the package allows to estimate a general spatial regimes model with additional endogenous variables, specified in terms of a spatial lag of the dependent variable, the spatially lagged regressors, and, potentially, a spatially autocorrelated error term. Spatial regime models are estimated by instrumental variables and generalized methods of moments (see Arraiz et al., (2010) doi:10.1111/j.1467-9787.2009.00618.x, Bivand and Piras, (2015) doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i18, Drukker et al., (2013) doi:10.1080/07474938.2013.741020, Kelejian and Prucha, (2010) doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2009.10.025).

Install

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

install.packages("hspm", 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("gpiras/hspm")

Development version from gpiras/hspm. 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-hspm

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-hspm

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-hspm

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.
