Overview

About

Maintained by Alfonso Sanchez-Penalver1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides a collection of maximum likelihood estimators with a consistent S3 interface. Supported models include Gaussian (linear and log-normal), logit, probit, Poisson, negative binomial (NB1 and NB2), gamma, and beta regression. A distinctive feature is flexible modeling of the scale parameter (variance, dispersion, precision, or shape) alongside the location/mean parameters. The package offers unified predict() methods, multiple variance-covariance estimators (observed information, outer product of gradients, robust/Huber-White, cluster-robust, bootstrap, jackknife), and a full suite of hypothesis tests (Wald, likelihood ratio, information matrix, Vuong, overdispersion, and goodness-of-fit). It is fully compatible with 'marginaleffects' for post-estimation analysis. Methods implemented include Cameron and Trivedi (1990) doi:10.1016/0304-4076(90)90014-K, for Poisson overdispersion testing, Manjon and Martinez (2014) doi:10.1177/1536867X1401400406, for goodness-of-fit testing of count data models, Vuong (1989) doi:10.2307/1912557, for non-nested likelihood ratio testing, and White (1982) doi:10.2307/1912526, for information matrix tests.

Install

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

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mlmodels/mlmodels_0.1.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "mlmodels_0.1.2.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 (0.1.2) 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-mlmodels

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-mlmodels

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