Overview

About

Maintained by Marc BurriFirst published 2026-03-292 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Analyzes revisions in real-time time series vintages. The package converts between wide revision triangles and tidy long vintages, extracts selected releases, computes revision series, visualizes vintage paths, and summarizes revision properties such as bias, dispersion, autocorrelation, and news-noise diagnostics. It also identifies efficient releases and estimates state-space models for revision nowcasting. Methods are based on Howrey (1978) doi:10.2307/1924972, Jacobs and Van Norden (2011) doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2010.04.010, and Kishor and Koenig (2012) doi:10.1198/jbes.2010.08169.

Install

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

install.packages("reviser", 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("ropensci/reviser")

Development version from ropensci/reviser. 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-reviser

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-reviser

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-reviser

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