Overview

About

Maintained by Felix DietrichCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides tools for multilevel descriptive statistics and data preparation. Computes within-group and between-group correlations (via variance decomposition or two-level structural equation modeling), intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and descriptive statistics for nested data (e.g., repeated measurements per person), supporting both frequentist (via 'lme4' or 'lavaan') and Bayesian (via 'brms') estimation. Results are formatted according to APA standards and can be exported as tables using 'gt' or 'tinytable'. Also includes functions for decomposing variables into within-group and between-group components for use in Random Effects Within-Between (REWB) models.

Changes in 0.1.2

mldesc() and within_between_correlations() now report the number of groups, the total number of observations, and observations per group (e.g., "Based on 100 persons and 1,184 observations (median 12 per person; range: 5–14).") in a note. The note can be replaced via the new group_size_note argument of the print() methods.
The bundled media_diary example dataset now has a variable number of diary days per person (5–14, median 12; 1,184 rows total) instead of a fixed 14 days (1,400 rows), simulating realistic non-response in a mobile diary study.

Install

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

install.packages("mlstats", 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("felixdidi/mlstats")

Development version from felixdidi/mlstats. 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-mlstats

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-mlstats

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-mlstats

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.
