Overview

About

Maintained by Bikram KarmakarFirst published 2016-08-242 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides tools for integrated sensitivity analysis of evidence factors in observational studies. When an observational study allows for multiple independent or nearly independent inferences which, if vulnerable, are vulnerable to different biases, we have multiple evidence factors. This package provides methods that respect type I error rate control. Examples are provided of integrated evidence factors analysis in a longitudinal study with continuous outcome and in a case-control study. Karmakar, B., French, B., and Small, D. S. (2019)DOI:10.1093/biomet/asz003.

Install

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

install.packages("evidenceFactors", 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-evidencefactors

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-evidenceFactors

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-evidenceFactors

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