Overview

About

Maintained by Imke VossCRAN page ↗Repository ↗

Analyzes the impact of external conditions on air quality using counterfactual approaches, featuring methods for data preparation, modeling, and visualization.

Changes in 1.1.1

Fixed a bug in load_uba_data_from_dir() where hours were not converted correctly to lubridate datetimes.
Changed alignment of rolling mean in plotting functions to "right".

ubair 1.1.0

**Initial CRAN Submission**\

**Public Release**

First public release of ubair on CRAN.
Previous internal versions (pre-CRAN) were used privately or shared within a specific group.
The package is intended for use with air quality station measurement data. These can be obtained for Germany via Air Quality Data API (UBA) or per request to [immission\@uba.de](mailto:immission@uba.de){.email}
Includes the following features:
**Counterfactual analysis**: Apply counterfactual analysis to assess external effects on air quality based on meteorological data, with support for four models: LightGBM, Random Forest, Feedforward Neural Network, and Dynamic Regression.
**Data detrending and retrending**: Enable users to remove and reintroduce trends in data as needed.
**Visualization and evaluation**: Provide tools for visualizing and evaluating the results of counterfactual analyses.

**Data preprocessing**: Preprocess data to prepare it for counterfactual analysis.

Install

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

install.packages("ubair", 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-ubair

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-ubair

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-ubair

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.
