Overview

About

Maintained by Evan Poworoznek1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Sampler and post-processing functions for semi-parametric Bayesian infinite factor models, motivated by the Multiplicative Gamma Shrinkage Prior of Bhattacharya and Dunson (2011) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3419391/. Contains component C++ functions for building samplers for linear and 2-way interaction factor models using the multiplicative gamma and Dirichlet-Laplace shrinkage priors. The package also contains post processing functions to return matrices that display rotational ambiguity to identifiability through successive application of orthogonalization procedures and resolution of column label and sign switching. This package was developed with the support of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grant 1R01ES028804-01.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/infinitefactor/infinitefactor_1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "infinitefactor_1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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-infinitefactor

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-infinitefactor

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