Overview

About

Maintained by Benjamin RoscheFirst published 2026-02-201 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements Bayesian multiple-membership multilevel models with parameterizable weight functions via 'JAGS' to model how lower-level units jointly shape higher-level outcomes (micro-macro link) across a range of outcome types (e.g., linear, logit, and survival models). Supports estimation and comparison of alternative aggregation mechanisms, allows weight matrices to be endogenized through parameters and covariates, and accommodates complex dependence structures that extend beyond traditional multilevel frameworks. For details, see Rosche (2026) "A Multilevel Model for Coalition Governments. Uncovering Party-Level Dependencies Within and Between Governments" doi:10.31235/osf.io/4bafr_v2.

Install

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

install.packages("bml", 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("benrosche/bml")

Development version from benrosche/bml. 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-bml

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

# 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-bml

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-bml

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