Simulates continuous distributions of random vectors using
    Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC).  Users specify the distribution by an
    R function that evaluates the log unnormalized density.  Algorithms
    are random walk Metropolis algorithm (function metrop), simulated
    tempering (function temper), and morphometric random walk Metropolis
    (Johnson and Geyer, 2012, <doi:10.1214/12-AOS1048>,
    function morph.metrop),
    which achieves geometric ergodicity by change of variable.

Provides some function to perform posterior estimation for some distribution, with emphasis to extreme value distributions. It contains some extreme datasets, and functions that perform the runs of posterior points of the GPD and GEV distribution. The package calculate some important extreme measures like return level for each t periods of time, and some plots as the predictive distribution, and return level plots.

Generates derived parameter(s) from Monte Carlo Markov Chain
    (MCMC) samples using R code. This allows Bayesian models to be fitted
    without the inclusion of derived parameters which add unnecessary
    clutter and slow model fitting. For more information on MCMC samples
    see Brooks et al. (2011) <isbn:978-1-4200-7941-8>.

Provides ensemble samplers for
    affine-invariant Monte Carlo Markov Chain, which allow a faster
    convergence for badly scaled estimation problems. Two samplers are
    proposed: the 'differential.evolution' sampler from ter Braak and
    Vrugt (2008) <doi:10.1007/s11222-008-9104-9> and the 'stretch' sampler
    from Goodman and Weare (2010) <doi:10.2140/camcos.2010.5.65>.

Fits Multivariate Generalised Linear Mixed Models (and related models) using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques (Hadfield 2010 J. Stat. Soft.).

Contains functions to perform Bayesian
        inference using posterior simulation for a number of
        statistical models. Most simulation is done in compiled C++
        written in the Scythe Statistical Library Version 1.0.3. All
        models return 'coda' mcmc objects that can then be summarized
        using the 'coda' package. Some useful
        utility functions such as density functions,
	pseudo-random number generators for statistical
        distributions, a general purpose Metropolis sampling algorithm,
        and tools for visualization are provided.
