pglpm<p>Version 0.3.1 of *inferno*, the R package for Bayesian nonparametric inference, is out!</p><p><<a href="https://pglpm.github.io/inferno/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">pglpm.github.io/inferno/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>></p><p>This version brings the following improvement and new functions:</p><p>- Possibility of calculating the posterior probability of value ranges, such as Pr(Y ≤ y), besides of point values such as Pr(Y = y). Also for subpopulations.<br>- New function to generate posterior samples for any set of variates. Also for subpopulations<br>- Improved calculation of mutual information between variates.</p><p>I'd like to remind that this package is especially suited to researchers with a frequentist background who'd like to try out Bayesian nonparametrics. The introductory vignette <<a href="https://pglpm.github.io/inferno/articles/inferno_start.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pglpm.github.io/inferno/articl</span><span class="invisible">es/inferno_start.html</span></a>> provides a simple and intuitive guide to the ideas, functions, and calculations, with a concrete example. The package provides many useful tools and functions for subgroup/subpopulation studies.</p><p>The package is also suited to Bayesian researchers who'd like to do nonparametric analysis without worrying to much about the Monte Carlo coding and calculations that it often involves.</p><p>Feedback and questions much appreciated!</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bayesian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bayesian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bayes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bayes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/datascience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>datascience</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>statistics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MachineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MachineLearning</span></a></p>
