  <dc:title>Bayesian Analysis, No Gibbs</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package bang version 1.0.4</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Bayesian (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Bayesian)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of some simple 
    commonly-used models, without using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) 
    methods such as Gibbs sampling.  The 'rust' package
    &lt;https://cran.r-project.org/package=rust&gt; is used to simulate a random 
    sample from the required posterior distribution, using the generalized 
    ratio-of-uniforms method.  See Wakefield, Gelfand and Smith (1991) 
    &lt;DOI:10.1007/BF01889987&gt; for details. At the moment three conjugate 
    hierarchical models are available: beta-binomial, gamma-Poisson and a 1-way 
    analysis of variance (ANOVA).</dc:description>
