Overview

About

Maintained by Tiago OlivotoFirst published 2026-06-241 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides a collection of utility functions for biostatistics, agricultural trial planning, and experimental design. Key features include generating experimental designs (like Latin Square, Alpha-Lattice by Patterson and Williams (1976) doi:10.2307/2335087, and Factorial), fieldbook creation, layout sketching, QR code-based label generation, and descriptive statistical tools to easily handle most common descriptive statistics for quantitative variables as described by Field, A., Miles, J., & Field, Z. (2012, ISBN:978-1-4462-0045-2).

Install

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-beautils

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

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-beautils

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-beautils
