Overview

About

Maintained by Jacob A. LongFirst published 2026-04-072 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements the dynamic panel models described by Allison, Williams, and Moral-Benito (2017 doi:10.1177/2378023117710578) in R. This class of models uses structural equation modeling to specify dynamic (lagged dependent variable) models with fixed effects for panel data. Additionally, models may have predictors that are only weakly exogenous, i.e., are affected by prior values of the dependent variable. Options also allow for random effects, dropping the lagged dependent variable, and a number of other specification choices.

# 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/ \

sudo apt install -y r-cran-dpm

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
