Overview

About

Maintained by Giorgio PiodaCRAN page ↗Declared funder: Roche

Regression methods to quantify the relation between two measurement methods are provided by this package. In particular it addresses regression problems with errors in both variables and without repeated measurements. It implements the Clinical Laboratory Standard International (CLSI) recommendations (see J. A. Budd et al. (2018, https://clsi.org/standards/products/method-evaluation/documents/ep09/) for analytical method comparison and bias estimation using patient samples. Furthermore, algorithms for Theil-Sen and equivariant Passing-Bablok estimators are implemented, see F. Dufey (2020, doi:10.1515/ijb-2019-0157) and J. Raymaekers and F. Dufey (2022, arXiv:2202:08060). Further the robust M-Deming and MM-Deming (experimental) are available, see G. Pioda (2021, arXiv:2105:04628). A comprehensive overview over the implemented methods and references can be found in the manual pages 'mcrPioda-package' and 'mcreg'.

Install

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

install.packages("mcrPioda", 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-mcrpioda

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-mcrPioda

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
