This package implements bridge models for nowcasting and forecasting macroeconomic variables by linking high-frequency indicator variables (e.g., monthly data) to low-frequency target variables (e.g., quarterly GDP). Simplifies forecasting and aggregating indicator variables to match the target frequency, enabling timely predictions ahead of official data releases. For more on bridge models, see Baffigi, A., Golinelli, R., & Parigi, G.

Arrays of structured data types can require large volumes of disk space to store. Blosc is a library that provides a fast and efficient way to compress such data. It is often applied in storage of n-dimensional arrays, such as in the case of the geo-spatial zarr file format. This package can be used to compress and decompress data using Blosc'.

Providing equivalent functions for the dummy classifier and regressor used in Python scikit-learn library. Our goal is to allow R users to easily identify baseline performance for their classification and regression problems. Our baseline models use no predictors, and are useful in cases of class imbalance, multiclass classification, and when users want to quickly identify how much improvement their statistical and machine learning models are over several baseline models. We use a "better" default (proportional guessing) for the dummy classifier than the Python implementation ("prior", which is the most frequent class in the training set). The functions in the package can be used on their own, or introduce methods named dummy_regressor or dummy_classifier that can be used within the caret package pipeline.

The purpose of this package is to fit the three Spatial Econometric Models proposed in Anselin (1988, ISBN:9024737354) in the homoscedastic and the heteroscedatic case. The fit is made through MCMC algorithms and observational working variables approach.

Beta version of Bayesian Inference (BI) using python and BI. It aims to unify the modeling experience by providing an intuitive model-building syntax together with the flexibility of low-level abstraction coding. It also includes pre-built functions for high-level abstraction and supports hardware-accelerated computation for improved scalability, including parallelization, vectorization, and execution on CPU, GPU, or TPU.

Estimation of Bayesian Global Vector Autoregressions (BGVAR) with different prior setups and the possibility to introduce stochastic volatility. Built-in priors include the Minnesota, the stochastic search variable selection and Normal-Gamma (NG) prior. For a reference see also Crespo Cuaresma, J., Feldkircher, M. and F. Huber (2016) "Forecasting with Global Vector Autoregressive Models: a Bayesian Approach", Journal of Applied Econometrics, Vol. 31(7), pp. 1371-1391 <doi:10.1002/jae.2504>. Post-processing functions allow for doing predictions, structurally identify the model with short-run or sign-restrictions and compute impulse response functions, historical decompositions and forecast error variance decompositions. Plotting functions are also available. The package has a companion paper: Boeck, M., Feldkircher, M. and F. Huber (2022) "BGVAR: Bayesian Global Vector Autoregressions with Shrinkage Priors in R", Journal of Statistical Software, Vol. 104(9), pp. 1-28 <doi:10.18637/jss.v104.i09>.

Latent and Stochastic Block Model estimation by a Variational EM algorithm. Various probability distribution are provided (Bernoulli, Poisson...), with or without covariates.

This package provides a two-step Bayesian approach for mode inference (BaŠtürk et al., 2026) <doi:10.18637/jss.v116.i03>. First, a mixture distribution is fitted on the data using a sparse finite mixture (SFM) Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. The number of mixture components does not have to be known; the size of the mixture is estimated endogenously through the SFM approach. Second, the modes of the estimated mixture at each MCMC draw are retrieved using algorithms specifically tailored for mode detection. These estimates are then used to construct posterior probabilities for the number of modes, their locations and uncertainties, providing a powerful tool for mode inference.

Calculate Bayesian marginal effects, average marginal effects, and marginal coefficients (also called population averaged coefficients) for models fit using the brms package including fixed effects, mixed effects, and location scale models. These are based on marginal predictions that integrate out random effects if necessary (see for example <doi:10.1186/s12874-015-0046-6> and <doi:10.1111/biom.12707>).

Single linkage clustering and connected component analyses are often performed on biological images. Bioi provides a set of functions for performing these tasks. This functionality is implemented in several key functions that can extend to from 1 to many dimensions. The single linkage clustering method implemented here can be used on n-dimensional data sets, while connected component analyses are limited to 3 or fewer dimensions.

This package provides Bayesian estimation and forecasting of dynamic panel data using Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressions with hierarchical prior distributions following the specification by Sanchez-Martinez & Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.14143>. The models include country-specific Vector Autoregressions (VARs) that share a global prior distribution that extend the model by JarociÅ ski (2010) <doi:10.1002/jae.1082>. Under this prior expected value, each country's system follows a global VAR with country-invariant parameters. Further flexibility is provided by the hierarchical prior structure that retains the Minnesota prior interpretation for the global VAR and features estimated prior covariance matrices, shrinkage, and persistence levels. Bayesian forecasting is developed for models including exogenous variables, allowing conditional forecasts given the future trajectories of some variables and restricted forecasts assuring that rates are forecasted to stay positive and less than 100. The package implements the model specification, estimation, and forecasting routines, facilitating coherent workflows and reproducibility. It also includes automated pseudo-out-of-sample forecasting and computation of forecasting performance measures. Beautiful plots, informative summary functions, and extensive documentation complement all this. Extraordinary computational speed is achieved thanks to employing frontier econometric and numerical techniques and algorithms written in C++'.
