Overview

About

Maintained by Haotian ChenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A set of frequently used Bayesian parametric and nonparametric model structures, as well as a set of tools for common analytical tasks. Structures include linear Gaussian systems, Gaussian and Normal-Inverse-Wishart conjugate structure, Gaussian and Normal-Inverse-Gamma conjugate structure, Categorical and Dirichlet conjugate structure, Dirichlet Process on positive integers, Dirichlet Process in general, Hierarchical Dirichlet Process ... Tasks include updating posteriors, sampling from posteriors, calculating marginal likelihood, calculating posterior predictive densities, sampling from posterior predictive distributions, calculating "Maximum A Posteriori" (MAP) estimates ... See https://chenhaotian.github.io/Bayesian-Bricks/ to get started.

Changes in 0.1.4

New features

Add method dAllIndicators to all DP family distributions. dAllIndicators will return the probabilities of all the possible values of the hidden indicator variables.

Bug fixes

Fixed bug: DP, HDP and HDP2 objects don't initialize observation distribution when created.
Fixed bug: rPosteriorPredictive.HDP and rPosteriorPredictive.HDP2 return samples with unexpected name such as "z.z".
Fixed bug: fix the error Error in obj$Z$Z2[[j]] : subscript out of bounds when rPosteriorPredictive.HDP try to draw samples from an unrecorded group.

Improvements

Fix graphical model representation error in package vignette.
Fix wrong conditional probability distributions in DP related documentations.
Add HMM and HDP-HMM (iHMM) examples to the vignette

Install

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/bbricks/bbricks_0.1.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "bbricks_0.1.4.tar.gz"

install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("chenhaotian/Bayesian-Bricks")

Development version from chenhaotian/Bayesian-Bricks. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
