Overview

About

Maintained by Meriem TouamiFirst published 2026-02-101 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements the Bayesian Clustering Factor Models (BCFM) for simultaneous clustering and latent factor analysis of multivariate longitudinal data. The model accounts for within-cluster dependence through shared latent factors while allowing heterogeneity across clusters, enabling flexible covariance modeling in high-dimensional settings. Inference is performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods with computationally intensive steps implemented via 'Rcpp'. Model selection and visualization tools are provided. The methodology is described in Shin, Ferreira, and Tegge (2018) doi:10.1002/sim.70350.

Install

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

install.packages("BCFM", 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("ategge/BCFM")

Development version from ategge/BCFM. 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-bcfm

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-BCFM

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-BCFM

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