‘broadcast’ is not a large package per-sé, but it does contain a large amount of compiled code (‘C’ and ‘C++’). Compilation of the package may therefore be slow on some operating systems, especially Linux systems; please be patient. On an average PC running Windows 11, installation of the ‘broadcast’ package shouldn’t take more than just a few minutes.
If installation is too slow, one may try to speed up the installation using multi-threading, for example like so:
nthreads <- 8L # specify number of threads
Sys.setenv(MAKEFLAGS = paste0("-j", nthreads)) # may speed up installation
remotes::install_github("https://github.com/tony-aw/broadcast")

library(broadcast)
To open the introduction help page of the ‘broadcast’ package, please use any of the following:
