Overview

About

Maintained by Ryoichi AsashibaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides a 'parsnip' engine for the 'midr' package, enabling users to fit, tune, and evaluate Maximum Interpretation Decomposition (MID) models within the 'tidymodels' framework. Developed through research by the Moonlight Seminar 2025, a study group of actuaries from the Institute of Actuaries of Japan, to enhance practical applications of interpretable modeling. Detailed methodology is available in Asashiba et al. (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2506.08338.

Changes in 0.2.0

New Features

Introduced nightfall() and daybreak() to seamlessly toggle the package's extended features, including dynamic S3 method registration, custom color themes, and high-performance OLS solvers.
Added fastLmMatrix(), an optimized wrapper around RcppEigen::fastLm() that efficiently handles multivariate (matrix) responses.

Minor Improvements

Renamed and updated the ggmid.midimp wrapper to ensure perfect alignment with midr (>= 0.6.0).
Streamlined the package structure by significantly reducing hard dependencies (Imports).

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("midnight", 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("ryo-asashi/midnight")

Development version from ryo-asashi/midnight. 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-midnight

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-midnight

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-midnight

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.
