Overview

About

Maintained by Paul M. Hargarten5 releasesCRAN page ↗

The miWQS package handles the uncertainty due to below the detection limit in a correlated component mixture problem. Researchers want to determine if a set/mixture of continuous and correlated components/chemicals is associated with an outcome and if so, which components are important in that mixture. These components share a common outcome but are interval-censored between zero and low thresholds, or detection limits, that may be different across the components. This package applies the multiple imputation (MI) procedure to the weighted quantile sum regression (WQS) methodology for continuous, binary, or count outcomes (Hargarten & Wheeler (2020) doi:10.1016/j.envres.2020.109466). The imputation models are: bootstrapping imputation (Lubin et.al (2004) doi:10.1289/ehp.7199), univariate Bayesian imputation (Hargarten & Wheeler (2020) doi:10.1016/j.envres.2020.109466), and multivariate Bayesian regression imputation.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/miWQS/miWQS_0.4.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "miWQS_0.4.4.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 (0.4.4) 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-miwqs

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

# 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-miWQS

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