pivmet - Pivotal Methods for Bayesian Relabelling and k-Means Clustering

Collection of pivotal algorithms for: relabelling the MCMC chains in order to undo the label switching problem in Bayesian mixture models; fitting sparse finite mixtures; initializing the centers of the classical k-means algorithm in order to obtain a better clustering solution. For further details see Egidi, Pappadà, Pauli and Torelli (2018b)<ISBN:9788891910233>.

footBayes - Fitting Bayesian and MLE Football Models

This is the first package allowing for the estimation, visualization and prediction of the most well-known football models: double Poisson, bivariate Poisson, Skellam, student_t, diagonal-inflated bivariate Poisson, and zero-inflated Skellam. The package allows Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) estimation through the underlying Stan environment and Maximum Likelihood estimation (MLE, for 'static' models only). The model construction relies on the most well-known football references, such as Dixon and Coles (1997) <doi:10.1111/1467-9876.00065>, Karlis and Ntzoufras (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9884.00366> and Egidi, Pauli and Torelli (2018) <doi:10.1177/1471082X18798414>.
