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. It supports both maximum likelihood estimation (MLE, for 'static' models only) and Bayesian inference. For Bayesian methods, it incorporates several techniques: MCMC sampling with Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, variational inference using either the Pathfinder algorithm or Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (ADVI), and the Laplace approximation. The package compiles all the 'CmdStan' models once during installation using the 'instantiate' package. 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>.

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>.
