Logistic-normal Multinomial (LNM) models are common in problems with multivariate count data. This package gives a simple implementation with a 30 line 'Stan' script. This lightweight implementation makes it an easy starting point for other projects, in particular for downstream tasks that require analysis of "compositional" data. It can be applied whenever a multinomial probability parameter is thought to depend linearly on inputs in a transformed, log ratio space. Additional utilities make it easy to inspect, create predictions, and draw samples using the fitted models. More about the LNM can be found in Xia et al. (2013) "A Logistic Normal Multinomial Regression Model for Microbiome Compositional Data Analysis" doi:10.1111/biom.12079 and Sankaran and Holmes (2023) "Generative Models: An Interdisciplinary Perspective" doi:10.1146/annurev-statistics-033121-110134.

Install

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

install.packages("miniLNM", 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("krisrs1128/miniLNM")

Development version from krisrs1128/miniLNM. 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-minilnm

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-miniLNM

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-miniLNM

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