Maintained by Ken KellnerFirst published 2017-04-2010 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions to simulate data sets from hierarchical ecological models, including all the simulations described in the two volume publication 'Applied Hierarchical Modeling in Ecology: Analysis of distribution, abundance and species richness in R and BUGS' by Marc Kéry and Andy Royle: volume 1 (2016, ISBN: 978-0-12-801378-6) and volume 2 (2021, ISBN: 978-0-12-809585-0), https://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/pubanalysis/keryroylebook/. It also has all the utility functions and data sets needed to replicate the analyses shown in the books.

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-ahmbook

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-AHMbook

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-AHMbook

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