Overview

About

Maintained by Jack WolfFirst published 2021-03-232 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Defines functions to describe regression models using only pre-computed summary statistics (i.e. means, variances, and covariances) in place of individual participant data. Possible models include linear models for linear combinations, products, and logical combinations of phenotypes. Implements methods presented in Wolf et al. (2021) doi:10.3389/fgene.2021.745901 Wolf et al. (2020) doi:10.1142/9789811215636_0063 and Gasdaska et al. (2019) doi:10.1142/9789813279827_0036.

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-pcsstools

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-pcsstools

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-pcsstools

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