ddsynth

R-CMD-check lifecycle

Methods to compute delay distributions from summary statistics

Prerequisites

R

R (≥ 4.0.0) is required. Download it from CRAN.

Stan

Several functions in this package use Stan via the rstan package. Stan requires a working C++ toolchain:

  • Windows: Install Rtools and follow the RStan Getting Started guide.
  • macOS: Install the Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install) and follow the RStan Getting Started guide.
  • Linux: Ensure g++ and make are available (e.g. sudo apt install build-essential on Debian/Ubuntu), then install rstan normally.

Install rstan from CRAN once the toolchain is ready:

Verify the installation works by running the built-in example:

example(stan_model, package = "rstan", run.dontrun = TRUE)

Installation

Install the development version of ddsynth directly from GitHub using either remotes or pak:

# Using remotes (install remotes first if needed)
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("cm401/ddsynth")

# Alternatively, using pak
install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("cm401/ddsynth")
