Efficient Bayesian Modeling of Binary and Categorical Data in R: The UPG Package


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We introduce the UPG package for highly efficient Bayesian inference in probit, logit, multinomial logit and binomial logit models. UPG offers a convenient estimation framework for balanced and imbalanced data settings where sampling efficiency is ensured through Markov chain Monte Carlo boosting methods. All sampling algorithms are implemented in C++, allowing for rapid parameter estimation. In addition, UPG provides several methods for fast production of output tables and summary plots that are easily accessible to a broad range of users.
