Overview

About

Maintained by Petras Verbyla1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Kernel PC (kPC) algorithm for causal structure learning and causal inference using graphical models. kPC is a version of PC algorithm that uses kernel based independence criteria in order to be able to deal with non-linear relationships and non-Gaussian noise.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/kpcalg/kpcalg_1.0.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "kpcalg_1.0.1.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 (1.0.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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-kpcalg

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
