Overview

About

Maintained by Andrew O. FinleyFirst published 2026-07-282 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Fits Bayesian linear mixed models for spatial and space-time data with fixed effects, independent and identically distributed (iid) grouped random effects, and structured latent processes. The formula interface supports first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) effects, dense Gaussian processes, nearest-neighbor Gaussian processes, proper and Leroux conditional autoregressive (CAR) effects, ordered directed acyclic graph autoregressive (DAGAR) effects, separable CAR-time and DAGAR-time effects, and spatially varying coefficients. The sampler uses sparse precision matrix calculations when available and includes post-fitting tools for latent process recovery, fitted values, prediction, pointwise log likelihoods, and posterior sample extraction.

Install

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

install.packages("stLMM", 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("finleya/stLMM")

Development version from finleya/stLMM. 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-stlmm

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-stLMM

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

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