spBayes

spBayes fits Bayesian univariate and multivariate spatial and spatio-temporal regression models for point-referenced data. The package provides MCMC-based model fitting, posterior recovery of spatial random effects, prediction at new locations, model diagnostics, and utilities for building spatial covariance matrices.

Installation

Install the CRAN release with:

install.packages("spBayes")

Install the development version from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("finleya/spBayes")

Basic Use

library(spBayes)

set.seed(1)
n <- 50
coords <- cbind(runif(n), runif(n))
x <- rnorm(n)
y <- 1 + 0.5 * x + rnorm(n)

fit <- spLM(
  y ~ x,
  coords = coords,
  starting = list(phi = 3, sigma.sq = 1, tau.sq = 1),
  tuning = list(phi = 0.1, sigma.sq = 0.1, tau.sq = 0.1),
  priors = list(
    phi.Unif = c(0.1, 30),
    sigma.sq.IG = c(2, 1),
    tau.sq.IG = c(2, 1)
  ),
  cov.model = "exponential",
  n.samples = 100,
  verbose = FALSE
)

summary(fit$p.theta.samples)

Functionality

The package provides:

• Gaussian spatial linear models with spLM().
• Binomial and Poisson spatial generalized linear models with spGLM().
• Multivariate spatial linear and generalized linear models.
• Spatially varying coefficient and dynamic spatio-temporal models.
• Predictive-process models for larger point-referenced data.
• Posterior recovery, prediction, diagnostics, and covariance utilities.
