Overview

About

Maintained by Daniel TurekFirst published 2020-08-206 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides utility functions, distributions, and fitting methods for Bayesian Spatial Capture-Recapture (SCR) and Open Population Spatial Capture-Recapture (OPSCR) modelling using the nimble package (de Valpine et al. 2017 <doi:10.1080/10618600.2016.1172487 >). Development of the package was motivated primarily by the need for flexible and efficient analysis of large-scale SCR data (Bischof et al. 2020 <doi:10.1073/pnas.2011383117 >). Computational methods and techniques implemented in nimbleSCR include those discussed in Turek et al. 2021 doi:10.1002/ecs2.3385; among others. For a recent application of nimbleSCR, see Milleret et al. (2021) doi:10.1098/rsbl.2021.0128.

Install

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

install.packages("nimbleSCR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-nimblescr

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-nimbleSCR

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-nimbleSCR

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