vinereg alternatives
The best vinereg alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 17, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to vinereg? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, vinereg shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About vinereg
Conditional density and log-likelihood fill out a vine copula regression package.
vinereg fits D-vine copula-based regression models on top of rvinecopulib and kde1d, in Thomas Nagler's package stack. The January 2025 pair - 0.10.0 and 0.11.0 tagged the same day - adds a pdf() function and then fixes conditional density computation for discrete variables while requiring the newer kde1d. Release notes run to one or two bullets each.
