Overview

About

Maintained by Kai Jannik NehlerFirst published 2025-07-114 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functionality for estimating cross-sectional network structures representing partial correlations while accounting for missing data. Networks are estimated via neighborhood selection or regularization, with model selection guided by information criteria. Missing data can be handled primarily via multiple imputation or a maximum likelihood-based approach, as demonstrated by Nehler and Schultze (2025) doi:10.1080/00273171.2025.2503833 and Nehler and Schultze (2026) doi:10.1037/met0000828. Deletion-based approaches are also available but play a secondary role.

Install

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

install.packages("mantar", 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("kai-nehler/mantar")

Development version from kai-nehler/mantar. 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-mantar

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

# 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-mantar

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-mantar

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
