Overview

About

Maintained by Benjamin RosenbaumCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Easy application of Bayesian inference for functional responses via 'brms'. This package allows to fit various FR models for single- and multi-prey experiments by providing nonlinear prediction functions for 'brms'. It uses dynamical prediction models to correct for prey depletion. The 'brms' framework facilitates statistical modeling and enables users to conveniently incorporate covariates such as temperature gradients, experimental treatment variables, or random effects that account for grouping in experimental units. Default 'brms' functions make it easy to perform model checking, model comparison and hypothesis testing. Potential statistical issues with data from feeding trials, such as overdispersion, can be resolved by effortlessly switching between likelihood functions. This package, together with its tutorials, should provide students and researchers with a comprehensive and integrated statistical framework for easily testing their hypotheses on trophic interactions.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("BayesFR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("benjamin-rosenbaum/BayesFR")

Development version from benjamin-rosenbaum/BayesFR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-bayesfr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-BayesFR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-BayesFR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
