  <dc:title>Variational Bayesian Algorithm for Multi-Source Heterogeneous
Models</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package VBMS version 1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A Variational Bayesian algorithm for high-dimensional multi-source 
    heterogeneous linear models. More details have been written up in a paper 
    submitted to the journal Statistics in Medicine, and the details of variational
    Bayesian methods can be found in Ray and Szabo (2021) &lt;doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1847121&gt;.
    It simultaneously performs parameter estimation and variable selection. The 
    algorithm supports two model settings: (1) local models, where variable selection
    is only applied to homogeneous coefficients, and (2) global models, where variable
    selection is also performed on heterogeneous coefficients. Two forms of 
    Spike-and-Slab priors are available: the Laplace distribution and the Gaussian 
    distribution as the Slab component.</dc:description>
