vinereg

An R package for D-vine copula based mean and quantile regression.

How to install

the stable release from CRAN:
```
install.packages("vinereg")
```

the latest development version:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tnagler/vinereg", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Functionality

See the package website.

Example

set.seed(5)
library(vinereg)
data(mtcars)

# declare factors and discrete variables
for (var in c("cyl", "vs", "gear", "carb"))
    mtcars[[var]] <- as.ordered(mtcars[[var]])
mtcars[["am"]] <- as.factor(mtcars[["am"]])

# fit model
(fit <- vinereg(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars))
#> D-vine regression model: mpg | disp, hp, gear, carb, cyl, am.1, wt, vs, qsec, drat 
#> nobs = 32, edf = 95, cll = -56.09, caic = 302.19, cbic = 441.43
