The boral R-package fits Bayesian approaches for analyzing
multivariate data in ecology. Estimation is performed using Markov Chain
Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods via Three. JAGS types of models may be
fitted:
- With explanatory variables only, boral fits independent column Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) to each column of the response matrix;
- With latent variables only, boral fits a purely latent variable model for model-based unconstrained ordination;
- With explanatory and latent variables, boral fits correlated column GLMs with latent variables to account for any residual correlation between the columns of the response matrix.
