Bayesian Federated Inference
Description
The Bayesian Federated Inference method combines inference results from different (medical) centers without sharing the data. In this version of the package, the user can fit models specifying Gaussian, Binomial (Logistic) and Survival families.

MAP.estimation and bfi are the main functions. All other functions are utility functions.
Some examples are provided in the vignettes accompanying this package in order to show how the package can be applied to real data. The vignettes can be found on the package website at https://hassanpazira.github.io/BFI/ or within R once the package has been installed, e.g., via vignette("BFI", package = "BFI").
