Overview

About

Maintained by Björn S. SiepeFirst published 2024-02-282 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Fit, compare, and visualize Bayesian graphical vector autoregressive (GVAR) network models using 'Stan'. These models are commonly used in psychology to represent temporal and contemporaneous relationships between multiple variables in intensive longitudinal data. Fitted models can be compared with a test based on matrix norm differences of posterior point estimates to quantify the differences between two estimated networks.
