deregisterDistributions

Deregister distributional information originally supplied by the user
for use in BUGS model code

A system for writing hierarchical statistical models largely
compatible with 'BUGS' and 'JAGS', writing nimbleFunctions to operate models
and do basic R-style math, and compiling both models and nimbleFunctions via
custom-generated C++. 'NIMBLE' includes default methods for MCMC, Laplace
Approximation, Monte Carlo Expectation Maximization, and some other tools.
The nimbleFunction system makes it easy to do things like implement new MCMC
samplers from R, customize the assignment of samplers to different parts of
a model from R, and compile the new samplers automatically via C++ alongside
the samplers 'NIMBLE' provides. 'NIMBLE' extends the 'BUGS'/'JAGS' language
by making it extensible: New distributions and functions can be added,
including as calls to external compiled code. Although most people think
of MCMC as the main goal of the 'BUGS'/'JAGS' language for writing models,
one can use 'NIMBLE' for writing arbitrary other kinds of model-generic
algorithms as well. A full User Manual is available at <https://r-nimble.org>.
