Overview

About

Maintained by Paul R. RosenbaumCRAN page ↗

Supplements for a book, "iTOS" = "Introduction to the Theory of Observational Studies." Data sets are 'aHDL' from Rosenbaum (2023a) doi:10.1111/biom.13558 and 'bingeM' from Rosenbaum (2023b) doi:10.1111/biom.13921. The function makematch() uses two-criteria matching from Zhang et al. (2023) doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1981337 to create the matched data 'bingeM' from 'binge'. The makematch() function also implements optimal matching (Rosenbaum (1989) doi:10.2307/2290079) and matching with fine or near-fine balance (Rosenbaum et al. (2007) doi:10.1198/016214506000001059 and Yang et al (2012) doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01691.x). The book makes use of two other R packages, 'weightedRank' and 'tightenBlock'.

Install

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

install.packages("iTOS", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-itos

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-iTOS

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-iTOS

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.
