Overview

About

Maintained by Maria GargiuloCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Facilitates use and analysis of data about the armed conflict in Colombia resulting from the joint project between La Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP), La Comisión para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No repetición (CEV), and the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG). The data are 100 replicates from a multiple imputation through chained equations as described in Van Buuren and Groothuis-Oudshoorn (2011) doi:10.18637/jss.v045.i03. With the replicates the user can examine four human rights violations that occurred in the Colombian conflict accounting for the impact of missing fields and fully missing observations.

Changes in 1.0.2

Removing a test of mse() when lookup_estimates = TRUE. This was a timing based test that was too flaky to be a reliable indicator of function performance across all test environment. Increasing the time tolerance in update 1.0.1 did not meaningfully resolve this issue as hoped.
Setting tests involving lookup_estimates() to skip_on_cran with testthat due to flaky behavior with Linux development environments on CRAN. These tests are working on all other testing environments.
Setting tests involving estimate_mse() to skip_on_cran because they are resulting in long build times for Windows and Debian.

Install

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

install.packages("verdata", 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("HRDAG/verdata")

Development version from HRDAG/verdata. 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-verdata

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-verdata

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-verdata

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.
