This package offers functions to visualize and/or modify brms models. It’s a collection of functions that I have been accumulating as I have been trying to customize the output of brms models. So far the package has functions for:
- Running multiple comparisons (e.g. contrasts) between levels of a categorical variable
- Plotting posterior distributions, trace plots and diagnostics plots in a Rmarkdown friendly format
- Running models on a population of phylogenetic trees to account for phylogenetic uncertainty
- Combining a bunch of models saved as RDS files
To install the latest developmental version from github you will need the R package remotes (although it may not install at all):
# From github
remotes::install_github("maRce10/brmsish")
# load package
library(brmsish)The package documentation can be found here.
