nimbleNoBounds

A collection of continuous univariate probability distributions transformed to the (unbounded) real line. Using these transformed distributions can result in more efficient MCMC, particularly when adaptive Metropolis-Hastings is used to sample in the vicinity of bounds on the parameter-space. See vignette("nimbleNoBounds") for several examples.

Installation

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

install.packages("nimbleNoBounds")

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

remotes::install_git(url="https://github.com/DRJP/nimbleNoBounds.git", subdir="nimbleNoBounds", 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.
