Overview

About

Maintained by Oystein SorensenFirst published 2026-02-033 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides nested sequential Monte Carlo algorithms for performing sequential inference in the Bayesian Mallows model, which is a widely used probability model for rank and preference data. The package implements the SMC2 (Sequential Monte Carlo Squared) algorithm for handling sequentially arriving rankings and pairwise preferences, including support for complete rankings, partial rankings, and pairwise comparisons. The methods are based on Sorensen (2025) doi:10.1214/25-BA1564.

Install

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

install.packages("BayesMallowsSMC2", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-bayesmallowssmc2

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-BayesMallowsSMC2

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-BayesMallowsSMC2

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