Overview

About

Maintained by Luke MiratrixFirst published 2020-04-282 releasesCRAN page ↗

Uses simulation to create prediction intervals for post-policy outcomes in interrupted time series (ITS) designs, following Miratrix (2020) arXiv:2002.05746. This package provides methods for fitting ITS models with lagged outcomes and variables to account for temporal dependencies. It then conducts inference via simulation, simulating a set of plausible counterfactual post-policy series to compare to the observed post-policy series. This package also provides methods to visualize such data, and also to incorporate seasonality models and smoothing and aggregation/summarization. This work partially funded by Arnold Ventures in collaboration with MDRC.

Install

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

install.packages("simITS", 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-simits

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-simITS

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-simITS

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