Overview

About

Maintained by Toby KenneyFirst published 2026-06-301 releasesCRAN page ↗

Performs hypergraph-based setwise variable selection with false discovery rate control (Organ, Kenney & Gu, 2026, doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.20514). The idea is, in addition to selecting individual predictors when there is sufficient evidence, to also test all pairs of predictors, and when there is insufficient evidence to be sure which is the true predictor, it will select possibly overlapping pairs, for which there is strong evidence that at least one is a true predictor. The method is designed to control a generalised false discovery rate, where discoveries are counted based on the number of independent sets. The function of this package is similar to the 'hypergraph.sizing' package, but this package is optimised for faster computation in the case where we test all pairs of predictors. The package also includes functions for counting independent sets in a graph or hypergraph, either exactly or approximately. There is also a very limited function for isotonic regression, which is designed for fast computation in the specific case needed for hypergraph variable selection, rather than for general use.

Install

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

install.packages("HVS", 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-hvs

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-HVS

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-HVS

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