Our presenter, Byron Hall,is the author of the freely contributed R package: LaplacesDemon. LaplacesDemon is a complete environment for Bayesian inference within R. LaplacesDemon offers over twenty MCMC algorithms, Laplace Approximation with multiple optimization algorithms, PMC, over 80 examples in the ?Examples? vignette, dozens of additional probability distributions, numerous MCMC diagnostics, Bayes factors, posterior predictive checks, a variety of plots, elicitation, parameter and variable importance, Bayesian forms of test statistics (such as Durbin-Watson, Jarque-Bera, etc.), validation, and much more.
