Posterior sampling and inference for Bayesian Poisson Regression

Efficient C++ based R package to sample from the posterior distribution of Poisson regression models. The model specification makes use of Gaussian (or conditionally Gaussian) prior distributions on the regression coefficients.

A tutorial on how to use the package can be found here.

Installation

The package is available on CRAN. To install it, simply run

install.packages("bpr")

Alternative installation from Github

library(devtools)
install_github("laura-dangelo/bpr/package")

The package requires Rcpp, RcppArmadillo and the C++ library boost.
