Added checks within NUTS and
NUTS_classic samplers to check validity of target
nodes.
Testing of correct results of HMC samplers on CAR model structures.
NUTS and NUTS_classic samplers updated
consistent with version 1.1.0 of nimble.
Renamed HMC sampler to NUTS_classic,
and added NUTS HMC sampler which follows the implementation
of version 2.32.2 of Stan.
Replaced nwarmup control argument to HMC samplers
with the new warmupMode control argument. This provides
four distinct methods of choosing the number of HMC warmup
iterations.
configureHMC for sampler assignment to
posterior predictive nodes.Initial release of nimbleHMC package. Initial version
provides:
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler for use with
nimble package MCMC engine.
Convenience functions addHMC,
configureHMC, buildHMC and
nimbleHMC, for managing MCMC configuration objects with HMC
samplers.
