Overview

About

Maintained by Reto BurginCRAN page ↗

Recursive partitioning for varying coefficient generalized linear models and ordinal linear mixed models. Special features are coefficient-wise partitioning, non-varying coefficients and partitioning of time-varying variables in longitudinal regression. A description of a part of this package was published by Burgin and Ritschard (2017) doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i06.

Changes in 1.0-7

Fixed incorrect ordering in the variance-covariance matrix for adjacent category models. Affected only this model in previous package versions.
Improved simulate() method for 'olmm' objects. Added a new argument 'ranef.simulate' to explicitely specify whether random effects should be simulated. The change results a slightly different behaviour compared to earlier versions. First, random effects are now simulated by default because of the default 'ranef.simulate = TRUE'. Second, if argument 'ranef = TRUE' is combined with 'ranef.simulate = FALSE', then random effects of new subjects are set to 0, which is consistent with the behaviour of the 'predict.olmm' function and the new argument terminology.
Added option for running likelihood ratio tests for models fitted with olmm() using parametric bootstrap. See the anova() method for olmm().

Show all changes in 1.0-7Hide the rest of the changes in 1.0-7

Added new function olmm_overwritePar() for overwriting coefficients of models fitted with olmm() objects, including automatically updating the likelihood and estimates for random effects. This function may be interesting for advanced bootstrap procedures.
Added files Makevars and Makevars.win (essentially to improve compilation of C code in Windows)

Install

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

install.packages("vcrpart", 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-vcrpart

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-vcrpart

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-vcrpart

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.
