Overview

About

Maintained by Mark J. FieldingFirst published 2026-06-248 releasesCRAN page ↗

Hybrid Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for sampling from multimodal target distributions when derivatives are unavailable. A Gaussian process approximation is used to emulate derivatives, enabling efficient exploration with parallel tempering. The method is described in Fielding, Nott and Liong (2011) doi:10.1198/TECH.2010.09195. The research was carried out as part of the Singapore-Delft Water Alliance Multi-Objective Multi-Reservoir Management programme (R-264-001-272).

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

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

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

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-mcmchybridgp

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

# 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-MCMChybridGP

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