Efficient Implementation of Gaussian Process in Bayesian Hierarchical Models R package BayesGP version 0.1.3 Implements Bayesian hierarchical models with flexible Gaussian process priors, focusing on Extended Latent Gaussian Models and incorporating various Gaussian process priors for Bayesian smoothing. Computations leverage finite element approximations and adaptive quadrature for efficient inference.
