Overview

About

Maintained by Aidan D BindoffFirst published 2026-06-014 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Fits Bayesian hierarchical piecewise regression models with multiple logistic-smoothed change-points. Non-linear parameters (change-point locations and transition sharpness) and linear parameters can each be conditioned on covariates and factors via flexible design matrices. A random-intercept structure is supported for any parameter. Spike-and-slab regularization is supported for selecting the number of breakpoints. Posterior inference uses a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler implemented in 'Rust' for speed. Methods are based on the smooth transition piecewise regression model of Bacon and Watts (1971) doi:10.2307/2334389 and variable selection spike-and-slab priors of Kuo and Mallick (1998) https://www.jstor.org/stable/25053023.

Install

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

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

Development version from ABindoff/smoothbp. 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-smoothbp

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-smoothbp

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
