title: 'RSGHB: Functions for Hierarchical Bayesian Estimation: A Flexible Approach'
version: 1.2.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.RSGHB
abstract: 'Functions for estimating models using a Hierarchical Bayesian (HB) framework.
  The flexibility comes in allowing the user to specify the likelihood function directly
  instead of assuming predetermined model structures. Types of models that can be
  estimated with this code include the family of discrete choice models (Multinomial
  Logit, Mixed Logit, Nested Logit, Error Components Logit and Latent Class) as well
  ordered response models like ordered probit and ordered logit. In addition, the
  package allows for flexibility in specifying parameters as either fixed (non-varying
  across individuals) or random with continuous distributions. Parameter distributions
  supported include normal, positive/negative log-normal, positive/negative censored
  normal, and the Johnson SB distribution. Kenneth Train''s Matlab and Gauss code
  for doing Hierarchical Bayesian estimation has served as the basis for a few of
  the functions included in this package. These Matlab/Gauss functions have been rewritten
  to be optimized within R. Considerable code has been added to increase the flexibility
  and usability of the code base. Train''s original Gauss and Matlab code can be found
  here: <http://elsa.berkeley.edu/Software/abstracts/train1006mxlhb.html> See Train''s
  chapter on HB in Discrete Choice with Simulation here: <http://elsa.berkeley.edu/books/choice2.html>;
  and his paper on using HB with non-normal distributions here: <http://eml.berkeley.edu//~train/trainsonnier.pdf>.
