Overview

About

Maintained by Marc GirondotCRAN page ↗

Functions used to fit and test the phenology of species based on counts. Based on Girondot, M. (2010) doi:10.3354/esr00292 for the phenology function, Girondot, M. (2017) doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.05.063 for the convolution of negative binomial, Girondot, M. and Rizzo, A. (2015) doi:10.2993/etbi-35-02-337-353.1 for Bayesian estimate, Pfaller JB, ..., Girondot M (2019) doi:10.1007/s00227-019-3545-x for tag-loss estimate, Hancock J, ..., Girondot M (2019) doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.04.013 for nesting history, Laloe J-O, ..., Girondot M, Hays GC (2020) doi:10.1007/s00227-020-03686-x for aggregating several seasons.

Changes in 2026.8.24

New CRAN version - 2026.08.24 (2026-08-24)

From NEWS in the release

Install

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

install.packages("phenology", 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-phenology

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-phenology

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-phenology

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.
