Overview

About

Maintained by Luca PresicceCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Implementation of the Forward Filtering Backward Sampling (FFBS) algorithm with Dynamic Bayesian Predictive Stacking (DYNBPS) integration for multivariate spatiotemporal models, as introduced in "Adaptive Markovian Spatiotemporal Transfer Learning in Multivariate Bayesian Modeling" (Presicce and Banerjee, 2026+) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.08544. This methodology enables efficient Bayesian multivariate spatiotemporal modeling, utilizing dynamic predictive stacking to improve inference across multivariate time series of spatial datasets. The core functions leverage 'C++' for high-performance computation, making the framework well-suited for large-scale spatiotemporal data analysis in parallel computing environments.

Install

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

install.packages("spFFBS", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-spffbs

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-spFFBS

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

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