glmmTMB package

[sophie-julian]

Hi there, is it possible to install glmmTMB package please?

CRAN Link: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/glmmTMB/index.html

We are using this package for MAIHDA framework, see example code: https://strengejacke.github.io/ggeffects/articles/practical_intersectionality.html

We have used this package locally to build one model and have just pushed to github and received this error: Error in library(glmmTMB) : there is no package called ‘glmmTMB’

Thank you!

Hi, alongside installing glmmTMB is it possible to have ggeffects (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ggeffects/index.html) and datawizzard (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/datawizard/index.html) please?

This is for the same MAIHDA analysis.

Hi @sophie-julian

We have added glmmTMB to the R image. If you run opensafely pull, it should pull the new version of the R image down for you to try locally.

Unfortunately, we couldn't add ggeffects or datawizard, as they both required much newer versions of some dependencies than the R image currently has. We are aware that this is a limitation of the current R image, and we have plans to fix at some point, involving releasing a new version of the R image with more up to date libraries.

Hi @bloodearnest

Thank you for adding glmmTMB! On the other packages, would you be able to advise on if there's a timeframe for this fix, our code is ready now so would be useful to know if this is expected in the near future?

Afraid there's no timeline for it, its probably best to go forward assuming it won't happen in the timeframe you need to run your code.
