Overview

About

Maintained by Cameron WimpyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Tools for estimating, interpreting, and visualizing Spatial-X (SLX) regression models. Provides a formula-based interface with first-class support for variable-specific weights matrices, higher-order spatial lags, temporally-lagged spatial variables (TSLS), and tidy effects decomposition (direct, indirect, total). Designed to lower the barrier to SLX modeling for applied researchers who already work with 'sf' and 'lm'-style formulas. Methods follow Wimpy, Whitten, and Williams (2021) doi:10.1086/710089.

Changes in 0.1.1

CRAN resubmission addressing feedback from the initial submission.

Added \value sections to slx-tidiers.Rd (documenting the tibble columns returned by tidy.slx() and glance.slx()) and slx_sensitivity.Rd (documenting that the stub is called for its side effect of signalling an error, with a note on the planned future return value).
Removed all \dontrun{} blocks from examples. Examples in slx-tidiers, slx_effects, slx_plot_effects, and slx_plot_shock are now unwrapped and run against the bundled defense_burden dataset. The slx_weights example now runs a custom-matrix case by default; the optional sf-based contiguity example is wrapped in \donttest{} and guarded by requireNamespace().

Install

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

install.packages("slxr", 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("cwimpy/slxr")

Development version from cwimpy/slxr. 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-slxr

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-slxr

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-slxr

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.
