BayesX - Software for Bayesian inference in Structured Additive Regression Models

  • BayesX is a software tool for estimating structured additive regression models. Structured additive regression embrasses several well-known regression models such as generalized additive models (GAM), generalized additive mixed models (GAMM), generalized geoadditive mixed models (GGAMM), dynamic models, varying coefficient models, and geographically weighted regression within a unifying framework. Besides exponential family regression, BayesX also supports non-standard regression situations such as regression for categorical responses, hazard regression for continuous survival times, and continuous time multi-state models. Inference can either be bases on a mixed model representation of structured additive regression models or on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations.
  • There also exists an R-package of the same name that provides additional functionality for visualisation and handling of geographical information.
