t_create_loc

Create row and column indices for locations of symmetric band-sparse matrix.
Starts with the locations of the diagonal, proceed with upper-diagonals,
followed by lower-diagonals.

Provides efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for
dynamic shrinkage processes, which extend global-local shrinkage priors to
the time series setting by allowing shrinkage to depend on its own past.
These priors yield locally adaptive estimates, useful for time series and
regression functions with irregular features. The package includes full MCMC
implementations for trend filtering using dynamic shrinkage on signal differences,
producing locally constant or linear fits with adaptive credible bands.
Also included are models with static shrinkage and normal-inverse-Gamma priors for comparison.
Additional tools cover dynamic regression with time-varying coefficients and
B-spline models with shrinkage on basis differences, allowing for flexible
curve-fitting with unequally spaced data. Some support for heteroscedastic errors,
outlier detection, and change point estimation.
