About

Maintained by Michael P. FayFirst published 2015-07-1114 releasesCRAN page ↗

Gives some hypothesis test functions (sign test, median and other quantile tests, Wilcoxon signed rank test, coefficient of variation test, test of normal variance, test on weighted sums of Poisson [see Fay and Kim doi:10.1002/bimj.201600111], sample size for t-tests with different variances and non-equal n per arm, Behrens-Fisher test, nonparametric ABC intervals, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test [with effect estimates and confidence intervals, see Fay and Malinovsky doi:10.1002/sim.7890], two-sample melding tests [see Fay, Proschan, and Brittain doi:10.1111/biom.12231], one-way ANOVA allowing var.equal=FALSE [see Brown and Forsythe, 1974, Biometrics]), prevalence confidence intervals that adjust for sensitivity and specificity [see Lang and Reiczigel, 2014 doi:10.1016/j.prevetmed.2013.09.015] or Bayer, Fay, and Graubard, 2023 doi:10.48550/arXiv.2205.13494). The focus is on hypothesis tests that have compatible confidence intervals, but some functions only have confidence intervals (e.g., prevSeSp).

Install

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

install.packages("asht", 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-asht

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-asht

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-asht

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