Provides the bayesGARCH() function which performs the
    Bayesian estimation of the GARCH(1,1) model with Student's t innovations as described in Ardia (2008) <doi:10.1007/978-3-540-78657-3>.

Performs parametric mediation analysis using the Bayesian g-formula approach for binary and continuous outcomes. The methodology is based on Comment (2018) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.1285275> and a demonstration of its application can be found at Yimer et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2210.08499>.

A Bayesian data modeling scheme that performs four interconnected tasks: (i) characterizes the uncertainty of the elicited parametric prior; (ii) provides exploratory diagnostic for checking prior-data conflict; (iii) computes the final statistical prior density estimate; and (iv) executes macro- and micro-inference. Primary reference is Mukhopadhyay, S. and Fletcher, D. 2018 paper "Generalized Empirical Bayes via Frequentist Goodness of Fit" (<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28130-5 >).

Implements Bayesian hierarchical models with flexible Gaussian process priors, focusing on Extended Latent Gaussian Models and incorporating various Gaussian process priors for Bayesian smoothing. Computations leverage finite element approximations and adaptive quadrature for efficient inference. Methods are detailed in Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221134172>; Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2024) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2023.2289532>; Zhang, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.09914>; and Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13329>.

Bayesian inferences on nonparametric regression via Gaussian Processes with a modified exponential square kernel using a basis expansion approach.

Estimate fish length-at-age models using MCMC analysis with 
    'rstan' models. This package allows a multimodel approach to growth fitting
    to be applied to length-at-age data and is supported by further analyses to 
    determine model selection and result presentation. The core methods of this 
    package are presented in Smart and Grammer (2021) "Modernising fish and 
    shark growth curves with Bayesian length-at-age models". PLOS ONE 16(2):
    e0246734 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0246734>.
