paul-buerkner/brms v0.10.0 on GitHub

new features

Add support for generalized additive mixed models
(GAMMs). Smoothing terms can be specified using
the s and t2 functions in the model formula.
Introduce as.data.frame and as.matrix
methods for brmsfit objects.

The gaussian("log") family no longer implies
a log-normal distribution, but a normal distribution with
log-link to match the behavior of glm.
The log-normal distribution can now be specified via
family lognormal.
Update syntax of Stan models to match the
recommended syntax of Stan 2.10.

The ngrps method should now always
return the correct result for non-linear models.
Fix problems in marginal_effects for
models using the reserved variable intercept
thanks to Frederik Aust.
Fix a bug in the print method of
brmshypothesis objects that could lead to
duplicated and thus invalid row names.
Residual standard deviation parameters of
multivariate models are again correctly displayed
in the output of the summary method.
Fix problems when using variational Bayes
algorithms with brms while having
rstan >= 2.10.0 installed thanks to the
Github user cwerner87.
