About

Maintained by James CraigCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Certara USA, Inc.

Perform a Visual Predictive Check (VPC), while accounting for stratification, censoring, and prediction correction. Using piping from 'magrittr', the intuitive syntax gives users a flexible and powerful method to generate VPCs using both traditional binning and a new binless approach Jamsen et al. (2018) doi:10.1002/psp4.12319 with Additive Quantile Regression (AQR) and Locally Estimated Scatterplot Smoothing (LOESS) prediction correction.

Changes in 1.6.0

New qpcstats() function computes a Quantitative Predictive Check (QPC) score for continuous VPCs, including a composite qpc_score (lower is better) plus component penalties for coverage, MAE, drift, sharpness, and the Winkler interval score. Works with binless() and binning(), with stratification, prediction correction, and censoring. New vignette tidyvpc_qpc documents usage #66.
Added support for non-replicate simulated data. simulated() gains xsim and repl arguments, stratify() gains a data.sim argument, and binning()/binless() propagate observed-data bins and strata to the simulated data when sim is not a replicate of obs #63.
plot.tidyvpcobj() gains censoring.color and censoring.fill arguments to customize the colors used in BLQ/ALQ percentage plots #69.
R CMD check housekeeping: added Linux reference data for binless categorical tests and resolved remaining global-variable NOTEs #71.
The tidyvpc_RsNLME vignette is now shipped as a precompiled PDF (it was previously only available as source).

Install

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

install.packages("tidyvpc", 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("certara/tidyvpc")

Development version from certara/tidyvpc. 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-tidyvpc

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-tidyvpc

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-tidyvpc

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.
