About

Maintained by Linda NabCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Covariate measurement error correction is implemented by means of regression calibration by Carroll RJ, Ruppert D, Stefanski LA & Crainiceanu CM (2006, ISBN:1584886331), efficient regression calibration by Spiegelman D, Carroll RJ & Kipnis V (2001) doi:10.1002/1097-0258(20010115)20:1%3C139::AID-SIM644%3E3.0.CO;2-K and maximum likelihood estimation by Bartlett JW, Stavola DBL & Frost C (2009) doi:10.1002/sim.3713. Outcome measurement error correction is implemented by means of the method of moments by Buonaccorsi JP (2010, ISBN:1420066560) and efficient method of moments by Keogh RH, Carroll RJ, Tooze JA, Kirkpatrick SI & Freedman LS (2014) doi:10.1002/sim.7011. Standard error estimation of the corrected estimators is implemented by means of the Delta method by Rosner B, Spiegelman D & Willett WC (1990) doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a115715 and Rosner B, Spiegelman D & Willett WC (1992) doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a116453, the Fieller method described by Buonaccorsi JP (2010, ISBN:1420066560), and the Bootstrap by Carroll RJ, Ruppert D, Stefanski LA & Crainiceanu CM (2006, ISBN:1584886331).

Install

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

install.packages("mecor", 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("LindaNab/mecor")

Development version from LindaNab/mecor. 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-mecor

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-mecor

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-mecor

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.
