About

Maintained by Joao Claudio MacossoFirst published 2023-12-071 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Based on 'STATA' xtsum command, it is used to compute summary statistics for a panel data set. It generates overall, between-group, and within-group statistics for specified variables in a panel data set, as presented in S. Porter (2023) https://stephenporter.org/files/xtsum_handout.pdf, StataCorp (2023) https://www.stata.com/manuals/xtxtsum.pdf.

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-xtsum

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-xtsum

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-xtsum

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
