Overview

About

Maintained by Jacob DennenFirst published 2026-05-052 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A modern, 'S7'-based foundation for survey analysis spanning both probability and non-probability samples. Probability sample designs include Taylor series linearization, replicate weights (BRR, Fay, jackknife, bootstrap), and two-phase estimation, following 'Lumley' (2004) doi:10.18637/jss.v009.i08. Non-probability sample designs support bootstrap and jackknife variance estimation for opt-in panels and convenience samples. Provides a unified estimator interface for means, frequencies, totals, quantiles, ratios, correlations, regression, and t-tests, with weighted 'polychoric' and 'polyserial' correlation following 'Mannan' (2025) doi:10.2139/ssrn.6580480. A metadata system preserves 'haven'-style variable labels, value labels, and question-preface attributes through all operations. Uses a 'tidyselect' interface throughout.

Install

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

install.packages("surveycore", 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("JDenn0514/surveycore")

Development version from JDenn0514/surveycore. 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-surveycore

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-surveycore

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-surveycore

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