How To Install r-cran-brms on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-brms on Kali Linux. r-cran-brms is GNU R Bayesian regression models using Stan

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-brms on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-brms

r-cran-brms is:

Fit Bayesian generalized (non-)linear multivariate multilevel models using ‘Stan’ for full Bayesian inference. A wide range of distributions and link functions are supported, allowing users to fit – among others – linear, robust linear, count data, survival, response times, ordinal, zero-inflated, hurdle, and even self-defined mixture models all in a multilevel context. Further modeling options include non-linear and smooth terms, auto-correlation structures, censored data, meta-analytic standard errors, and quite a few more. In addition, all parameters of the response distribution can be predicted in order to perform distributional regression. Prior specifications are flexible and explicitly encourage users to apply prior distributions that actually reflect their beliefs. Model fit can easily be assessed and compared with posterior predictive checks and leave-one-out cross-validation.

There are three methods to install r-cran-brms on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
