NIMBLE is an R package for hierarchical statistical modeling (aka
graphical modeling).  It enables writing general models along with
methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), particle filtering
(aka sequential Monte Carlo), Laplace approximation and other general methods.

For writing statistical models, NIMBLE adopts and extends the BUGS
language, making it largely compatible with
[BUGS](https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/software/bugs) and
[JAGS](http://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.net/).  NIMBLE makes BUGS
extensible, allowing users to add new functions and new distributions.

For writing algorithms (aka analysis methods), NIMBLE provides a
model-generic programming system embedded within R.  This provides
control over models as generic objects and mathematical manipulation
of model variables. In this way, NIMBLE's programming paradigm treats
probabilistic graphical models as a basic programming construct.

Both models and algorithms are compiled via generating customized C++
and providing seamless interfaces to compiled C++ from R.

NIMBLE's most developed methods are for MCMC.  Users can easily
customize sampler configurations from R and write new samplers in
NIMBLE's algorithm programming system.

Developers of new computational statistical methods can build them in
NIMBLE to gain the benefits of its graphical modeling language,
compilation, and distribution via [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/).

## Installation

### Install prerequisites

NIMBLE needs a C++ compiler and the GNU `make` utility.
Typically, Mac users can obtain these by installing Xcode, including
command line utilities, while Windows users can obtain them by
installing [Rtools](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/).
See the [User Manual](https://r-nimble.org/manuals/NimbleUserManual.pdf#page=26) for more details.

### Install NIMBLE

The easiest way to install NIMBLE is via CRAN:
```r
install.packages("nimble")
```

To install from the NIMBLE website:
```r
library(devtools)
install.packages("nimble", type = "source", repos = "https://r-nimble.org")
```

Note that NIMBLE's Laplace approximation-related methods are (as of version 1.4.0) in the `nimbleQuad` package.

Note that NIMBLE's sequential Monte Carlo (SMC; aka particle filtering) methods are (as of version 0.10.0) in the `nimbleSMC` package.

Note that `MCMCsuite` and `compareMCMCs` have been migrated to the `compareMCMCs` package, now available on CRAN.
