In statistics, errors-in-variables (EIV) models, or measurement error models, are models that account for measurement errors in both the independent (predictor) and dependent (outcome) variables. EIVmodels is a R package designed specifically to account for measurement errors within some commonly used models (linear regression, change-point regression, (Integrated) Gaussian process regression) when analysing time-dependent data derived from paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The models are implemented in a Bayesian framework using the JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler) software.
- The package requires the installation of the JAGS software. Click to download JAGS.
