nimbleAPT

A collection of functions for sampling the posterior distributions of Bayesian models (written in Nimble's implementation of the BUGS language) via an adaptive parallel tempering (APT) algorithm based on Miasojedow's 2013 and 2016 papers.

The package was previously released under the name nimble-snippets.

Installation

The package can be installed from CRAN. In the R console, just write

install.packages("nimbleAPT")

The package can also be installed from github using the R package 'remotes' as follows.

remotes::install_git(url="https://github.com/DRJP/nimbleAPT.git", subdir="nimbleAPT", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Switching to 'build_vignettes = FALSE' makes for a faster installation, and thus may be a prefered option for users already familiar with the package.
