Bayesian Population Analysis with NIMBLE

[Marc Kery]

Dear all,

We are currently working on a 2^nd edition of the BPA book from back in 2012, which will be entitled 'Bayesian population analysis using NIMBLE and JAGS'. As part of that project, we have translated into NIMBLE all the BPA code of the 1^st edition. You can download it here: https://www.vogelwarte.ch/en/research/population-biology/book-bpa/

Since default NIMBLE output is extremely basic, we are very grateful to Ken Kellner who wrote for us an R function called 'nimbleSummary'. It produces output with very similar format as when you run JAGS by 'jagsUI'. This function is contained in the beta version of our 'BPAbook' R package, which you can also download along with the 'BPA with NIMBLE' code.

Best regards  --- Marc & Michael
