Overview

About

Maintained by Aidan D BindoffCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Computes the prior fraction, the per-group pooling or shrinkage factor, for hierarchical models, including directly from 'brms' fits. For each group-level coefficient the prior fraction is the share of the posterior precision contributed by the shrinkage prior relative to the likelihood; values near one indicate a coefficient that is prior-dominated (the centring/non-centring funnel regime), values near zero indicate a likelihood-dominated coefficient that is well identified from the data. These quantities are invisible to standard convergence diagnostics such as R-hat and effective sample size, and they indicate where a non-centred reparameterisation is likely to help. A companion advisor reports the same decomposition for changepoint random effects fitted with 'smoothbp'. The underlying geometry (the Fisher-metric connection on the base-fiber split, for which this connection is flat so the obstruction is statistical rather than geometric) is described in Bindoff (2026) doi:10.5281/zenodo.20724550; code reproducing the paper is in the package's source repository.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("fibr", 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("ABindoff/fibr")

Development version from ABindoff/fibr. 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-fibr

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-fibr

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-fibr

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.
