Overview

About

Maintained by Kjell NygrenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides Bayesian linear and generalized linear model fitting with independent and identically distributed (iid) posterior samples. The main functions mirror R's lm() and glm() interfaces while adding prior family specifications for Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, and Gamma models with log-concave likelihoods. Sampling for supported non-conjugate models uses accept-reject methods based on likelihood subgradients as in Nygren and Nygren (2006) doi:10.1198/016214506000000357. The package also includes tools for prior setup, posterior summaries, prediction, diagnostics, simulation, vignettes, and optional 'OpenCL' acceleration for larger models.

Changes in 0.9.75

Bug fixes

**Configure (Linux/macOS):** -DUSE_OPENCL is set only when a **non-PoCL** OpenCL platform exposes at least one **GPU** device. PoCL-only ICD stacks (typical on CRAN **debian-gcc** incoming) no longer enable OpenCL at compile time, so has_opencl() is FALSE during check and kernel builds do not touch ~/.cache/pocl (addresses incoming NOTE on tempfile_* there). Real GPU installs (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) are unchanged.
**Vignette Chapter 16:** diagnose_glmbayes(), opencltools::diagnose_glmbayes(), and example(Cleveland) chunks are eval=FALSE during vignette rebuild (defense in depth alongside configure).

Install

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

install.packages("glmbayes", 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("knygren/glmbayes")

Development version from knygren/glmbayes. 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-glmbayes

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-glmbayes

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-glmbayes

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.
