dclone-package {dclone} | R Documentation |
Low level functions for implementing maximum likelihood estimating procedures for complex models using data cloning (Lele et al. 2007) and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods with support for JAGS, WinBUGS and OpenBUGS. Convenient functions to help implementing
Main functions include:
dclone
: cloning R objects.
jags.fit
, bugs.fit
: conveniently fit BUGS models.
dc.fit
: iterative model fitting by the data cloning algorithm.
dctable
: help evaluating data cloning convergence by descriptives.
