Overview

About

Maintained by Fabio MasonFirst published 2024-04-024 releasesCRAN page ↗

The main function calculates confidence intervals (CI) for Mixed Models, utilizing both classical estimators from the lmer() function in the 'lme4' package and robust estimators from the rlmer() function in the 'robustlmm' package, as well as the varComprob() function in the 'robustvarComp' package. Three methods are available: the classical Wald method, the wild bootstrap, and the parametric bootstrap. Bootstrap methods offer flexibility in obtaining lower and upper bounds through percentile or BCa methods. More details are given in Mason, F., Cantoni, E., & Ghisletta, P. (2021) doi:10.5964/meth.6607 and Mason, F., Cantoni, E., & Ghisletta, P. (2024) doi:10.1037/met0000643.

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

install.packages("confintROB", 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-confintrob

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-confintROB

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