Wrapper for 'Stan' that offers a number of in-built models to implement a hierarchical Bayesian longitudinal model for repeat observation data. Model choice selects the differential equation that is fit to the observations. Single and multi-individual models are available. O'Brien et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14463>.

Utilities for reading data from the Human Mortality Database (<https://www.mortality.org>), Human Fertility Database (<https://www.humanfertility.org>), and similar databases from the web or locally into an R session as data.frame objects. These are the two most widely used sources of demographic data to study basic demographic change, trends, and develop new demographic methods. Other supported databases at this time include the Human Fertility Collection (<https://www.fertilitydata.org>), The Japanese Mortality Database (<https://www.ipss.go.jp/p-toukei/JMD/index-en.html>), and the Canadian Human Mortality Database (<http://www.bdlc.umontreal.ca/chmd/>). Arguments and data are standardized.

A set of objects and functions for Bayes Linear emulation and history matching.
  Core functionality includes automated training of emulators to data, diagnostic functions
  to ensure suitability, and a variety of proposal methods for generating 'waves' of points.
  For details on the mathematical background, there are many papers available on the topic
  (see references attached to function help files or the below references); for details of 
  the functions in this package, consult the manual or help files.
