Overview

About

Maintained by Pedro Nascimento de LimaFirst published 2026-08-031 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A native R implementation of neural simulation-based inference, focused on Neural Posterior Estimation. Given a prior over parameters and a simulator, 'neuralsbi' trains a conditional neural density estimator to approximate the Bayesian posterior, enabling amortized, likelihood-free inference. Neural estimators run on the 'torch' back end. It targets applied researchers who want an approachable interface with sensible defaults and built-in posterior diagnostics.

Install

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

install.packages("neuralsbi", 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("pedroliman/neuralsbi")

Development version from pedroliman/neuralsbi. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# 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-neuralsbi

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-neuralsbi

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