Overview

About

Maintained by Scott H. KoenemanFirst published 2023-09-201 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Perform model selection using distribution and probability-based methods, including standardized AIC, BIC, and AICc. These standardized information criteria allow one to perform model selection in a way similar to the prevalent "Rule of 2" method, but formalize the method to rely on probability theory. A novel goodness-of-fit procedure for assessing linear regression models is also available. This test relies on theoretical properties of the estimated error variance for a normal linear regression model, and employs a bootstrap procedure to assess the null hypothesis that the fitted model shows no lack of fit. For more information, see Koeneman and Cavanaugh (2023) arXiv:2309.10614. Functionality to perform all subsets linear or generalized linear regression is also 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-dbmodelselect

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-DBModelSelect

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-DBModelSelect
