About

Maintained by Katja DanielzikFirst published 2026-03-311 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Bayesian models are used to estimate effect sizes (e.g., gene expression changes, protein abundance differences, drug response effects) while accounting for uncertainty, small sample sizes, and complex experimental designs. However, Bayesian posteriors of models with many parameters are often difficult to interpret at a glance. One way to quickly identify important biological changes based on frequentist analysis are volcano plots (using fold-changes and p-values). Bayesian volcano plots bring together the explicit treatment of uncertainty in Bayesian models and the familiar visualization of volcano plots.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("BayesVolcano", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("KatjaDanielzik/BayesVolcano")

Development version from KatjaDanielzik/BayesVolcano. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-bayesvolcano

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-BayesVolcano

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-BayesVolcano

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
