ABSTRACT

R, available at https://cran.r-project.org/">https://cran.r-project.org/, is an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and graphical display (R Core Team, 2016). The advantages of the R environment for Bayesian analysis are considerable, including access to extensive graphical capabilities (e.g. ggplot) and data manipulation facilities; a range of posterior diagnostic and summarisation tools; and the ability to obtain classical estimates in tandem with a full Bayesian analysis.
