Overview

About

Maintained by Amalan MahendranFirst published 2025-10-221 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Subsampling methods for big data under different models and assumptions. Starting with linear regression and leading to Generalised Linear Models, softmax regression, and quantile regression. Specifically, the model-robust subsampling method proposed in Mahendran, A., Thompson, H., and McGree, J. M. (2023) doi:10.1007/s00362-023-01446-9, where multiple models can describe the big data, and the subsampling framework for potentially misspecified Generalised Linear Models in Mahendran, A., Thompson, H., and McGree, J. M. (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.05902.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("NeEDS4BigData", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("Amalan-ConStat/NeEDS4BigData")

Development version from Amalan-ConStat/NeEDS4BigData. Installs pak first if it is not already 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-needs4bigdata

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

# 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-NeEDS4BigData

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