SeBR 1.1.0
Improvements to previous
functionality
- Added 
bb() to sample from the Bayesian bootstrap (BB)
posterior more efficiently. 
- Added a 
fixedX case for when the covariates are fixed
(not random), which also improves computing time for all semiparametric
regression functions. 
- Since location (intercept) and scale (error standard deviation) are
not identifiable in the general transformed regression model, these are
no longer reported as coefficients/parameters.
 
- The posterior draws of the transformation 
post_g now
report (g - intercept)/scale instead of g,
which properly corresponds to the transformation under the
location-scale identified model. Now, post_g can be
compared directly to the “true” transformations from simulated data
without any further location-scale matching. 
Fewer dependencies
fields and GpGp are only needed for
sbgp() and bgp_bc(). 
plyr is only needed for
sblm_modelsel(). 
statmod is only needed for sbqr() and
bqr(). 
quantreg is only needed for sbqr().
 
spikeSlabGAM is only needed for sbsm() and
bsm_bc(). 
New functions
- Added 
sblm_hs() for semiparametric regression with
horseshoe priors. 
- Added 
blm_bc_hs() for Box-Cox transformed regression
with horseshoe priors. 
- Added 
sblm_ssvs() for stochastic search variable
selection for semiparametric regression with sparsity priors. 
- Added 
sblm_modelsel() for model/variable selection for
semiparametric regression with sparsity priors. 
- Added 
hbb() function to sample from the hierarchical BB
(HBB) posterior. concen_hbb() samples from the marginal
posterior distribution of the HBB concentration parameters.
