Maintained by Kjell NygrenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Core C++ engine for 'glmbayes': envelope-based iid linear and generalized linear model samplers, prior-family routing, and optional 'OpenCL' acceleration. Sampling for supported non-conjugate models uses accept-reject methods based on likelihood subgradients as in Nygren and Nygren (2006) doi:10.1198/016214506000000357. Intended as a developer backend for the 'glmbayes' formula interface; end users should use 'glmbayes' for modelling with interfaces analogous to 'lm' and 'glm'. Mixed-model engines are planned for a future release.

Changes in 0.5.4

Bug fixes

**residuals.rglmb() / residuals.rlmb() / residuals.summary.rglmb():** Fixed the ysim argument to substitute for the **observed response** y (fitted value held fixed at each draw), not the reverse. The previous behavior substituted ysim for the fitted value while holding y fixed, which does not correspond to a standard posterior-predictive residual check and contradicted this function's own ysim ("simulated responses") documentation. The corrected convention matches **glmbayes**'s residuals.glmb() (simulate new response data, recompute residuals against the same fitted values, and compare to the actual residuals for outlier diagnostics) — the two packages' ysim semantics were inconsistent since this function was added post-split; they are now aligned. Behavior for the default case (ysim = NULL) is unchanged.

**Configure (Linux/macOS):** -DUSE_OPENCL is set only when a **non-PoCL** OpenCL platform exposes at least one **GPU** device (same policy as **glmbayes** 0.9.75). PoCL-only ICD stacks (typical on CRAN debian-gcc incoming) no longer enable OpenCL at compile time, so kernel builds do not touch ~/.cache/pocl (avoids incoming NOTE on tempfile_* there). Real GPU installs (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) are unchanged. configure.win is unaffected (Windows never ran a runtime OpenCL probe).
**Configure policy:** Removed tools/rcpp_include.R / tools/patch_rcpp_function_h.R and the glmbayes_getRegisteredNamespace compatibility shim (src/glmbayes_getRegisteredNamespace.{cpp,h}) from configure and configure.win. Builds now rely on standard **LinkingTo: Rcpp** and the CRAN **Rcpp (>= 1.1.1)** requirement instead of probing/patching Rcpp/Function.h or recommending a GitHub install of Rcpp (same policy fix as **glmbayes** 0.9.73/0.9.75).
**CI:** Replaced .github/workflows/rhub.yaml with the current **glmbayes** version, removing dead matrix/report logic that referenced the now-removed tools/patch_rcpp_function_h.R script.

Install

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

install.packages("glmbayesCore", 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/glmbayesCore")

Development version from knygren/glmbayesCore. 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-glmbayescore

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-glmbayesCore

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-glmbayesCore

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.
