  <dc:title>Bayesian Spatial and Space-Time Linear Mixed Models</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package stLMM version 0.0.3</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: MixedModels (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=MixedModels)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Fits Bayesian linear mixed models for spatial and space-time data with fixed effects, independent and identically distributed (iid) grouped random effects, and structured latent processes. The formula interface supports first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) effects, dense Gaussian processes, nearest-neighbor Gaussian processes, proper and Leroux conditional autoregressive (CAR) effects, ordered directed acyclic graph autoregressive (DAGAR) effects, separable CAR-time and DAGAR-time effects, and spatially varying coefficients. The sampler uses sparse precision matrix calculations when available and includes post-fitting tools for latent process recovery, fitted values, prediction, pointwise log likelihoods, and posterior sample extraction. Method details include Datta et al. (2016) &lt;doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1044091&gt;, Finley et al. (2019) &lt;doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1537924&gt;, Datta et al.
