  <dc:title>Hierarchical Piecewise Regression with Smoothed Change-Points</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package smoothbp version 0.2.7</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fits Bayesian hierarchical piecewise regression models with 
    multiple logistic-smoothed change-points. Non-linear parameters (change-point 
    locations and transition sharpness) and linear parameters can each be 
    conditioned on covariates and factors via flexible design matrices. 
    A random-intercept structure is supported for any parameter. Spike-and-slab 
    regularization is supported for selecting the number of breakpoints. 
    Posterior inference uses a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler implemented 
    in 'Rust' for speed. Methods are based on the smooth transition 
    piecewise regression model of Bacon and Watts (1971) &lt;doi:10.2307/2334389&gt; 
    and variable selection spike-and-slab priors of Kuo and Mallick (1998)
