Overview

About

Maintained by Tomás ZabaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A simple and streamlined workflow for plausibility checks and prevalence analysis of wasting based on the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transition (SMART) Methodology https://smartmethodology.org/, with application in R.

Changes in 0.2.5

Bug fixes

Resolved an issue in mw_wrangle_age() that ensures out‑of‑range age‑in‑months values are set to NA when mwana is provided with a dataset containing pre‑calculated age‑in‑months. The function already applied this rule when age‑in‑months was derived from date of birth and data‑collection date; this fix extends the same behaviour to externally supplied age‑in‑months values.

General updates

Refactored wasting case definers to halt execution and raise an error when oedema contains missing values.
Revised the mathematical expression for the age-weighting approach in mw_estimate_age_weighted_prev_muac().
Added a hyperlink to the internet‑deployed mwana Shiny App (mwanaApp) in the website’s list of links.

Install

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

install.packages("mwana", 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("mphimo/mwana")

Development version from mphimo/mwana. 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-mwana

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-mwana

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-mwana

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.
