Overview

About

Maintained by Dr. Pramit PanditCRAN page ↗

Provides a comprehensive framework for linear regression modeling and associated statistical analysis. The package implements methods for correlation analysis, including computation of correlation matrices with corresponding significance levels and visualization via correlation heatmaps. It supports estimation of multiple linear regression models, along with automated model selection through backward elimination procedures based on statistical significance criteria. In addition, the package offers a suite of diagnostic tools to assess key assumptions of linear regression, including multicollinearity using variance inflation factors, heteroscedasticity using the Goldfeld-Quandt test, and normality of residuals using the Shapiro-Wilk test. These functionalities, as described in Draper and Smith (1998) doi:10.1002/9781118625590, are designed to facilitate robust model building, evaluation, and interpretation in applied statistical and data analytical contexts.

Install

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

install.packages("linreg", 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-linreg

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-linreg

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-linreg

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.
