R package adaptBayes

The adaptBayes R packages provides code to accompany the methodology developed in Boonstra and Barbaro (2020). The sensible adaptive bayesian update is implemented in glm_sab() and the naive adaptive bayesian update is implemented in glm_nab(). A non-adaptive version of the sensible bayesian update is provided in glm_sb(). An extended version of the sensible and sensible adaptive priors are provided in glm_sb2() and glm_sab2().

A companion repository for this package exists at https://www.github.com/psboonstra/AdaptiveBayesianUpdates, which contains a vignette (vignette.pdf) on using the adaptive priors in this package as well as code for running the simulation studies in Boonstra and Barbaro (2020).
