About

Maintained by Benjamin MahieuFirst published 2026-03-231 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides a multiple-response chi-square framework for the analysis of contingency tables arising from multiple-response questionnaires, such as check-all-that-apply tasks, where response options are crossed with a known grouping factor. The framework accommodates within-block (e.g., within-subject) designs, as commonly encountered in sensory evaluation. It comprises a multiple-response chi-square test of homogeneity with an associated dimensionality test, a multiple-response Correspondence Analysis (CA), and per-cell multiple-response hypergeometric tests. These methods extend their classical counterparts by grounding inference in a null model that properly accounts for the multiple-response nature of the data, treating evaluations, rather than individual citations, as the experimental units, yielding more statistically valid conclusions than standard contingency table analyses. Details may be found in Mahieu, Schlich, Visalli, and Cardot (2021). doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2021.104256.

Install

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

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-multiresponser

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-MultiResponseR

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-MultiResponseR

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