Overview

About

Maintained by Alicja Wolny-DominiakFirst published 2026-05-161 releasesCRAN page ↗

Tools for statistical matching based on latent class models. The package implements statistical matching procedures based on latent class models. It allows researchers to perform data integration when no unique identifiers are available by modeling the joint distribution of variables through latent categorical structures. The package supports estimation of latent class models, probabilistic matching between donor and recipient data sets, and generation of synthetic linked data under uncertainty. It is particularly useful in survey research and data fusion applications where combining information from multiple sources is required while preserving statistical properties and accounting for measurement error and missing data mechanisms.

Install

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

install.packages("statMatchLCM", 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-statmatchlcm

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-statMatchLCM

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-statMatchLCM

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