BayesMRA

An R package for Bayesian spatial and spatio-temporal regression using sparse multi-resolution matrices. This package includes functions for setting up the multi-resolution process and a function mcmc_mra() for fitting a spatial model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo. For details about the model and an example using simulated data, see vignette("BayesMRA").
