How To Install r-cran-mcmc on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-mcmc on Kali Linux. r-cran-mcmc is GNU R package for Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations

Introduction

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

What is r-cran-mcmc

r-cran-mcmc is:

Simulates continuous distributions of random vectors using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Users specify the distribution by an R function that evaluates the log unnormalized density. Algorithms are random walk Metropolis algorithm (function metrop), simulated tempering (function temper), and morphometric random walk Metropolis (Johnson and Geyer, Annals of Statistics, 2012, function morph.metrop), which achieves geometric ergodicity by change of variable.
