Overview

About

Maintained by Paul PoncetCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

A collection of miscellaneous statistical functions for probability distributions: 'dbern()', 'pbern()', 'qbern()', 'rbern()' for the Bernoulli distribution, and 'distr2name()', 'name2distr()' for distribution names; probability density estimation: 'densityfun()'; most frequent value estimation: 'mfv()', 'mfv1()'; other statistical measures of location: 'cv()' (coefficient of variation), 'midhinge()', 'midrange()', 'trimean()'; construction of histograms: 'histo()', 'find_breaks()'; calculation of the Hellinger distance: 'hellinger()'; use of classical kernels: 'kernelfun()', 'kernel_properties()'; univariate piecewise-constant regression: 'picor()'.

Changes in 0.2.3

Bug fixes

Fix bug in prune().
Now hellinger() returns the Hellinger distance, not the square of it (Issue #1, thanks to benjones13).

Features

Use model.frame() to improve the way formulas are processed in picor().
Now mfv() is powered by a function tableNA() and returns a factor with the same levels as x, when x is itself a factor.
In mfv() the argument na.rm is soft-deprecated (so still accepted for now, with a message thrown); the default argument is now called na_rm.
Add various statistical functions: cv() (coefficient of variation), midhinge(), midrange(), trimean().
Add histo() to compute a histogram and find_breaks() to give breakpoints just like MASS::truehist() does.

Install

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

install.packages("statip", 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("paulponcet/statip")

Development version from paulponcet/statip. 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-statip

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-statip

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-statip

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.
