How To Install r-cran-corpcor on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-corpcor on Kali Linux. r-cran-corpcor is GNU R for Estimation of Covariance and Correlation – corpcor

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-corpcor on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-corpcor

r-cran-corpcor is:

GNU R package which implements a James-Stein-type shrinkage estimator for the covariance matrix, with separate shrinkage for variances and correlations. The approach is both computationally as well as statistically very efficient, it is applicable to “small n, large p” data, and always returns a positive definite and well-conditioned covariance matrix. In addition to inferring the covariance matrix the package also provides shrinkage estimators for partial correlations and partial variances. The inverse of the covariance and correlation matrix can be efficiently computed, as well as any arbitrary power of the shrinkage correlation matrix. Furthermore, functions are available for fast singular value decomposition, for computing the pseudoinverse, and for checking the rank and positive definiteness of a matrix.

There are three methods to install r-cran-corpcor on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
