Overview

About

Maintained by Joshua Hewitt3 releasesCRAN page ↗

Implementation of the 'bisque' strategy for approximate Bayesian posterior inference. See Hewitt and Hoeting (2019) arXiv:1904.07270 for complete details. 'bisque' combines conditioning with sparse grid quadrature rules to approximate marginal posterior quantities of hierarchical Bayesian models. The resulting approximations are computationally efficient for many hierarchical Bayesian models. The 'bisque' package allows approximate posterior inference for custom models; users only need to specify the conditional densities required for the approximation.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/bisque/bisque_1.0.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "bisque_1.0.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
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 (1.0.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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-bisque

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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

# 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-bisque

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
