bgms 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2023-09-01

This is a minor release adding some new features and fixing some minor bugs.

New features

• Missing data imputation for the bgm function. See the na.action option.
• Prior distributions for the network structure in the bgm function. See the edge_prior option.
• Adaptive Metropolis as an alternative to the current random walk Metropolis algorithm in the bgm function. See the adaptive option.

User level changes

• Changed the default specification of the interaction prior from UnitInfo to Cauchy. See the interaction_prior option.
• Changed the default threshold hyperparameter specification from 1.0 to 0.5. See the threshold_alpha and threshold_beta options.
• Analysis output now uses the column names of the data.
