Overview

About

Maintained by Lars VattenFirst published 2025-06-251 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Bayesian multivariate age-period-cohort (MAPC) models for analyzing health data, with support for model fitting, visualization, stratification, and model comparison. Inference focuses on identifiable cross-strata differences, as described by Riebler and Held (2010) doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxp037. Methods for handling complex survey data via the 'survey' package are included, as described in Mercer et al. (2014) doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2013.12.001.

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-mapctools

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-MAPCtools

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-MAPCtools

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