I mostly followed the 2nd edition of "R Packages" by @hadleywickham @jennybryan with a few minor tweaks to account for the differences between GitHub and Bitbucket/Jira

https://r-pkgs.org/release.html

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is writing or maintaining R code! #rstats #statsodon

version 0.7-0 of my R package `bayesImageS' is now available on CRAN for Linux and macOS
(Windows binaries are still being built and should be available soon)

The main change is a reduction in the console output for the exchange algorithm. There were also […]

7529 is the minimum ESS for a 2 parameter model recommended by the R package mcmcse, for stable estimation with a relative tolerance of .05

The first 1000 iterations were discarded as burn-in.

This is the third in my series of examples using the exchange algorithm for Bayesian inference with intractable likelihoods. Here I fit an exponential random graph model (ERGM) to the karate club social network from Zachary (1977). Using the R package Bergm […]

An example using the approximate exchange algorithm (AEA) in the R package GiRaF, for a satellite image of polar ice floes https://www.kaggle.com/code/matttm/ice-floes-with-the-exchange-algorithm

ESS is only 2118, not the minimum 7529 recommended by mcmcse […]
