About

Maintained by Ove Haugland JakobsenFirst published 2024-10-251 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Measure productivity and efficiency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Available methods include DEA under different technology assumptions, bootstrapping of efficiency scores and calculation of the Malmquist productivity index. Analyses can be performed either in the console or with the provided 'shiny' app. See Banker, R.; Charnes, A.; Cooper, W.W. (1984) doi:10.1287/mnsc.30.9.1078, Färe, R.; Grosskopf, S. (1996) doi:10.1007/978-94-009-1816-0.

# 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 dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-pioneeR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
