Overview

About

Maintained by Kayleigh KellerFirst published 2024-11-031 releasesCRAN page ↗

Computes the effective range of a smoothing matrix, which is a measure of the distance to which smoothing occurs. This is motivated by the application of spatial splines for adjusting for unmeasured spatial confounding in regression models, but the calculation of effective range can be applied to smoothing matrices in other contexts. For algorithmic details, see Rainey and Keller (2024) "spconfShiny: an R Shiny application..." doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0311440 and Keller and Szpiro (2020) "Selecting a Scale for Spatial Confounding Adjustment" doi:10.1111/rssa.12556.

Install

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

install.packages("spconf", 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-spconf

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-spconf

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-spconf

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