new features

  • Fit latent Gaussian processes of one
    or more covariates via function gp
    specified in the model formula (#221).
  • Rework methods fixef, ranef,
    coef, and VarCorr to be more flexible
    and consistent with other post-processing methods (#200).
  • Generalize method hypothesis to be
    applicable on all objects coercible to a
    data.frame (#198).
  • Visualize predictions via spaghetti
    plots using argument spaghetti in
    marginal_effects and marginal_smooths.
  • Introduce method add_ic to
    store and reuse information criteria in
    fitted model objects (#220).
  • Allow for negative weights in
    multi-membership grouping structures.
  • Introduce an as.array method
    for brmsfit objects.

other changes

  • Show output of R code in HTML vignettes thanks
    to Ben Goodrich (#158).
  • Resolve citations in PDF vignettes thanks
    to Thomas Kluth (#223).
  • Improve sampling efficiency for
    exgaussian models thanks to
    Alex Forrence (#222).
  • Also transform data points when using argument
    transform in marginal_effects
    thanks to Markus Gesmann.

bug fixes

  • Fix an unexpected error in marginal_effects
    occuring for some models with autocorrelation terms
    thanks to Markus Gesmann.
  • Fix multiple problems occuring for models with
    the cor_bsts structure thanks to Andrew Ellis.
