Overview

About

Maintained by Guy J. AbelCRAN page ↗Website ↗

The tsbridge package contains a collection of R functions that can be used to estimate normalising constants using the bridge sampler of Meng and Wong (1996). The functions can be applied to calculate posterior model probabilities for a variety of time series Bayesian models, where parameters are estimated using BUGS, and models themselves are created using the tsbugs package.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/tsbridge/tsbridge_1.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "tsbridge_1.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
