bsvars<p>💓 Coding Bayesian structural multivariate dynamic models, where each of the adjectives adds up to computational complexity, requires the best solutions, so…</p><p>💗 I decided that combining the best of the two worlds, fast computations with C++ and the ease of data analysis with R, is the way to go.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rstats</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bsvars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bsvars</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bsvarSIGNs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bsvarSIGNs</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>foss</span></a></p>
bsvars<p>Luis asked why have I chosen to develop packages for Bayesian SVARs in R. This is why:</p><p>💝 I really like the format of R packages how it’s standardised and checked at the CRAN assuring quality.</p><p>💖 R was missing tools for SVARs and particularly on Bayesian SVARs. There were some such packages, but the literature and users’ needs are much broader.</p><p>💘 The core code for most of algorithms in our packages is written in C++ which is much faster.</p><p>👇</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rstats</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bsvars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bsvars</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bsvarSIGNs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bsvarSIGNs</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>foss</span></a></p>
