A representation of the posterior distribution is also available. Grollemund P-M., Abraham C., Baragatti M., Pudlo P. (2019) <doi:10.1214/18-BA1095>.

The mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) is a popular model for longitudinal clinical trial data with continuous endpoints, and brms is a powerful and versatile package for fitting Bayesian regression models. The brms.mmrm R package leverages brms to run MMRMs, and it supports a simplified interfaced to reduce difficulty and align with the best practices of the life sciences.

Bayesian dynamic borrowing with covariate adjustment via inverse probability weighting for simulations and data analyses in clinical trials. This makes it easy to use propensity score methods to balance covariate distributions between external and internal data. This methodology based on Psioda et al (2025) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2025.2489285>.

The blocked weighted bootstrap (BBW) is an estimation technique for use with data from two-stage cluster sampled surveys in which either prior weighting (e.g. population-proportional sampling or PPS as used in Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions or SMART surveys) or posterior weighting (e.g. as used in rapid assessment method or RAM and simple spatial sampling method or S3M surveys) is implemented. See Cameron et al (2008) <doi:10.1162/rest.90.3.414> for application of bootstrap to cluster samples. See Aaron et al (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0163176> and Aaron et al (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0162462> for application of the blocked weighted bootstrap to estimate indicators from two-stage cluster sampled surveys.

Allows the user to apply the Bayes Linear approach to finite population with the Simple Random Sampling - BLE_SRS() - and the Stratified Simple Random Sampling design - BLE_SSRS() - (both without replacement), to the Ratio estimator (using auxiliary information) - BLE_Ratio() - and to categorical data - BLE_Categorical(). The Bayes linear estimation approach is applied to a general linear regression model for finite population prediction in BLE_Reg() and it is also possible to achieve the design based estimators using vague prior distributions.

Bumblebee colonies grow during worker production, then decline after switching to production of reproductive individuals (drones and gynes). This package provides tools for modeling and visualizing this pattern by identifying a switchpoint with a growth rate before and a decline rate after the switchpoint. The mathematical models fit by bumbl are described in Crone and Williams (2016) <doi:10.1111/ele.12581>.

This package provides a Bayesian framework to estimate the Student's t-distribution's degrees of freedom is developed. Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling routines are developed as in <doi:10.3390/axioms11090462> to sample from the posterior distribution of the degrees of freedom. A random walk Metropolis algorithm is used for sampling when Jeffrey's and Gamma priors are endowed upon the degrees of freedom. In addition, the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm for sampling is used under the Jeffrey's prior specification. The Log-normal prior over the degrees of freedom is posed as a viable choice with comparable performance in simulations and real-data application, against other prior choices, where an Elliptical Slice Sampler is used to sample from the concerned posterior.

An implementation of Bayesian survival models with graph-structured selection priors for sparse identification of omics features predictive of survival (Madjar et al., 2021 <doi:10.1186/s12859-021-04483-z>) and its extension to use a fixed graph via a Markov Random Field (MRF) prior for capturing known structure of omics features, e.g. disease-specific pathways from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database (Hermansen et al., 2025 <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.13078>).

Generates nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals (Efron and Tibshirani, 1993: <doi:10.1201/9780429246593>) for standardized regression coefficients (beta) and other effect sizes, including multiple correlation, semipartial correlations, improvement in R-squared, squared partial correlations, and differences in standardized regression coefficients, for models fitted by lm().

We utilize the Bradley-Terry Model to estimate the abilities of teams using paired comparison data. For dynamic approximation of current rankings, we employ the Exponential Decayed Log-likelihood function, and we also apply the Lasso penalty for variance reduction and grouping. The main algorithm applies the Augmented Lagrangian Method described by Masarotto and Varin (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-AOAS581>.

Laplace approximations and penalized B-splines are combined for fast Bayesian inference in latent Gaussian models. The routines can be used to fit survival models, especially proportional hazards and promotion time cure models (Gressani, O. and Lambert, P. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2018.02.007>). The Laplace-P-spline methodology can also be implemented for inference in (generalized) additive models (Gressani, O. and Lambert, P. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2020.107088>). See the associated website for more information and examples.

Analysis of relative cell type proportions in bulk gene expression data. Provides a well-validated set of brain cell type-specific marker genes derived from multiple types of experiments, as described in McKenzie (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41598-018-27293-5>. For brain tissue data sets, there are marker genes available for astrocytes, endothelial cells, microglia, neurons, oligodendrocytes, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells, derived from each of human, mice, and combination human/mouse data sets. However, if you have access to your own marker genes, the functions can be applied to bulk gene expression data from any tissue. Also implements multiple options for relative cell type proportion estimation using these marker genes, adapting and expanding on approaches from the CellCODE R package described in Chikina (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv015>. The number of cell type marker genes used in a given analysis can be increased or decreased based on your preferences and the data set. Finally, provides functions to use the estimates to adjust for variability in the relative proportion of cell types across samples prior to downstream analyses.
