ssgraph (version 1.15)

ssgraph-package: Bayesian Graphical Estimation using Spike-and-Slab Priors

Description

The R package ssgraph is for Bayesian estimation of graphical models by using spike-and-slab priors. The package is implemented the recent improvements in the Bayesian graphical models' literature, including Wang (2015). To speed up the computations, the computationally intensive tasks of the package are implemented in C++ in parallel using OpenMP.
