inlabru

Description

Convenient model fitting using (iterated) INLA.

Details

inlabru facilitates Bayesian spatial modelling using integrated nested Laplace approximations. It is heavily based on R-inla (https://www.r-inla.org) but adds additional modelling abilities and simplified syntax for (in particular) spatial models. Tutorials and more information can be found at https://inlabru-org.github.io/inlabru/ and http://www.inlabru.org/. The iterative method used for non-linear predictors is documented in the method vignette.

The main function for inference using inlabru is bru(). The general model specification details is documented in component() and like(). Posterior quantities beyond the basic summaries can be calculated with a predict() method, documented in predict.bru(). For point process inference lgcp() can be used as a shortcut to bru(..., like(model="cp", ...)).

The package comes with multiple real world data sets, namely gorillas, mexdolphin, gorillas_sf, mexdolphin_sf, seals_sp. Plotting these data sets is straight forward using inlabru's extensions to ggplot2, e.g. the gg() function. For educational purposes some simulated data sets are available as well, e.g. Poisson1_1D, Poisson2_1D, Poisson2_1D and toygroups.
