Overview

About

Maintained by Daniel EdiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Treats a through-year assessment system (interims during the year feeding a multistage summative) as the unit of analysis. Links interims to the summative scale with a latent multivariate normal model that carries each score's measurement error forward and handles missing interims, estimated by the EM algorithm (Dempster, Laird and Rubin, 1977, doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1977.tb01600.x) with SQUAREM acceleration (Varadhan and Roland, 2008, doi:10.1111/j.1467-9469.2007.00585.x); simulates cold-start versus prior-informed routing in a two-stage multistage test; checks whether priors disadvantage late enrollers, low scorers or fast growers; and evaluates decision accuracy and consistency of through-year scores against a single summative.

Changes in 0.1.0

Initial release.
Latent multivariate-normal linking of interims to the summative scale with measurement error and missing interims (ty_link()).
Two-stage MST simulation with cold-start and prior-informed routing (ty_mst(), ty_administer(), ty_policies()).
Fairness diagnostics by group (ty_fairness()).
Decision accuracy and consistency of through-year scores versus a single summative (ty_decisions()).

Install

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

install.packages("throughyear", 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("edidatasolutions/throughyear")

Development version from edidatasolutions/throughyear. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# 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-throughyear

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-throughyear

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.
