Overview

About

Maintained by Jun ZhaoFirst published 2022-11-114 releasesCRAN page ↗

Asymptotic efficient closed-form estimators (MLEces) are provided in this package for three multivariate distributions(gamma, Weibull and Dirichlet) whose maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are not in closed forms. Closed-form estimators are strong consistent, and have the similar asymptotic normal distribution like MLEs. But the calculation of MLEces are much faster than the corresponding MLEs. Further details and explanations of MLEces can be found in. Jang, et al. (2023) doi:10.1111/stan.12299. Kim, et al. (2023) doi:10.1080/03610926.2023.2179880.

Install

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

install.packages("MLEce", 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-mlece

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-MLEce

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-MLEce

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