Fits area-level Hierarchical Bayesian Small Area Estimation models. The methodological foundation follows the standard area-level Small Area Estimation literature, primarily Rao and Molina (2015, ISBN: 9781118735787) doi:10.1002/9781118735855, while computational implementation is adapted to the parameterisation and prior-specification conventions of the 'brms' package doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01, which targets the Stan back-end. Supports a principled Bayesian workflow doi:10.48550/arXiv.2011.01808, with prior predictive checks, convergence diagnostics, model comparison, spatial random effects, custom distributions, missing-data handling, and a bilingual 'shiny' application for non-programmer analysts.

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

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

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-hbsaems

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
