Overview

About

Maintained by Elias HaddadFirst published 2025-04-162 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Create densities, probabilities, random numbers, quantiles, and maximum likelihood estimation for several distributions, mainly the symmetric and asymmetric power exponential (AEP), a.k.a. the Subbottin family of distributions, also known as the generalized error distribution. Estimation is made using the design of Bottazzi (2004) https://ideas.repec.org/p/ssa/lemwps/2004-14.html, where the likelihood is maximized by several optimization procedures using the 'GNU Scientific Library (GSL)', translated to 'C++' code, which makes it both fast and accurate. The package also provides methods for the gamma, Laplace, and Asymmetric Laplace distributions.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("Rsubbotools", 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("nettoyoussef/Rsubbotools")

Development version from nettoyoussef/Rsubbotools. 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-rsubbotools

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-Rsubbotools

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
