Overview

About

Maintained by Xavier MilhaudCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Computes the Actuarial Climate Index (ACI) and its components (temperature, precipitation, drought, wind, sea level) from gridded climate data ('NetCDF') and tide gauge records. Implements the methodology described in Garrido, Milhaud & Olympio (2025) https://hal.science/hal-04491982v2 for a French/European actuarial climate index, building on the American Academy of Actuaries framework, to any country in the world.

Install

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

install.packages("xaci", 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("XavierMilhaud/xaci")

Development version from XavierMilhaud/xaci. 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-xaci

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-xaci

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
