STooDs is a framework to build and estimate probabilistic models for data varying in Space, Time or other Dimensions. The R package RSTooDs is built as an R User Interface to the computational STooDs engine. It defines classes (objects’ properties and methods) for the various building blocks of a STooDs case study. Its typical usage is as follows:
- Assemble the dataset.
- Define the probabilistic model and its constitutive objects (parameters, dimensions, processes).
- Perform Bayesian-MCMC inference.
- Read, analyse and use MCMC samples.
