Overview

About

Maintained by Michael FriendlyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Contains maps of France in 1830 and multivariate datasets from A.-M. Guerry and others. Statistical and graphic methods related to Guerry's "Moral Statistics of France" are used to understand Guerry's data and illustrate methods. The goal is to facilitate the exploration and development of statistical and graphic methods for multivariate data in a geospatial context of historical interest.

Changes in 1.8.5

This release adds an sf/ggplot2 mapping vignette, migrates dataset documentation to roxygen2, fixes a data-integrity bug in gfrance/gfrance85, and clears a long-standing R CMD check NOTE.

Added a new vignette, guerry-sf-maps, showing Guerry's maps with sf and ggplot2::geom_sf(), including a reproduction of the six main "moral variables" as small multiples and a discussion of Guerry's own light/dark color convention, illustrated with his 1833 Instruction map
Fixed a clipped variable label in the HE plot in guerry-multivariate
Added a pkgdown documentation-site badge, section icons and a dynamic version/build-date line to README.Rmd
Migrated dataset documentation from hand-written man/*.Rd files to roxygen2 (internal, no user-facing changes to help pages)
Restored the CODE_DEPT, COUNT and AVE_ID_GEO shapefile-identifier columns to gfrance and gfrance85, inadvertently dropped in the unreleased 1.8.4 data corrections. This had shifted every later column left by 3, silently breaking gfrance85's own documented example ([,5]/[,7:12] positional indexing) and the adegraphics package's reverse-dependency tests and vignette, which index gfrance85 the same way

Added @importClassesFrom sp SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, clearing the long-standing "Namespace in Imports field not imported from: 'sp'" R CMD check NOTE (gfrance/gfrance85/Angeville are sp-class objects, so sp must stay a hard dependency, but nothing in R/ code called it directly)

Install

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

install.packages("Guerry", 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("friendly/Guerry")

Development version from friendly/Guerry. 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-guerry

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-Guerry

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-Guerry

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.
