Description

Write statistical models in R and fit them by 'MCMC' and optimisation on 'CPUs' and 'GPUs', using Google 'TensorFlow'. 'greta' lets you write your own model like in 'BUGS', 'JAGS' and 'Stan', except that you write models right in R, it scales well to massive datasets, and it’s easy to extend and build on. See the website for more information, including tutorials, examples, package documentation, and the 'greta' forum. This work is discussed at Golding (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01601>.
