About

Maintained by Herdiantri SufriyanaFirst published 2024-06-241 releasesCRAN page ↗

Generate causally-simulated data to serve as ground truth for evaluating methods in causal discovery and effect estimation. The package provides tools to assist in defining functions based on specified edges, and conversely, defining edges based on functions. It enables the generation of data according to these predefined functions and causal structures. This is particularly useful for researchers in fields such as artificial intelligence, statistics, biology, medicine, epidemiology, economics, and social sciences, who are developing a general or a domain-specific methods to discover causal structures and estimate causal effects. Data simulation adheres to principles of structural causal modeling. Detailed methodologies and examples are documented in our vignette, available at https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/herdiantrisufriyana/rcausim/blob/master/doc/causal_simulation_exemplar.html.

Install

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

install.packages("rcausim", 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-rcausim

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-rcausim

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-rcausim

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