The R package bkmr implements Bayesian kernel machine regression, a statistical approach for estimating the joint health effects of multiple concurrent exposures. Additional information on the statistical methodology and on the computational details are provided in Bobb et al. 2015. More recent extensions, details on the software, and worked-through examples are provided in Bobb et al. 2018.
