Provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of some simple 
    commonly-used models, without using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) 
    methods such as Gibbs sampling.  The 'rust' package
    <https://cran.r-project.org/package=rust> is used to simulate a random 
    sample from the required posterior distribution, using the generalized 
    ratio-of-uniforms method.  See Wakefield, Gelfand and Smith (1991) 
    <DOI:10.1007/BF01889987> for details. At the moment three conjugate 
    hierarchical models are available: beta-binomial, gamma-Poisson and a 1-way 
    analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Usually, it is difficult to plot choropleth maps for Bangladesh in 'R'.
    The 'bangladesh' package provides ready-to-use shapefiles for different administrative
    regions of Bangladesh (e.g., Division, District, Upazila, and Union).
    This package helps users to draw thematic maps of administrative regions
    of Bangladesh easily as it comes with the 'sf' objects for the boundaries.
    It also provides functions allowing users to efficiently get specific area
    maps and center coordinates for regions. Users can also search for
    a specific area and calculate the centroids of those areas.

A convenience package for use while drafting code.
    It facilitates making stand-out comment lines decorated with
    bands of characters.  The input text strings are converted into
    R comment lines, suitably formatted. These are then displayed in
    a console window and, if possible, automatically transferred to a
    clipboard ready for pasting into an R script.  Designed to save
    time when drafting R scripts that will need to be navigated and
    maintained by other programmers.

It covers several Bayesian Analysis of Variance (BANOVA) models used in analysis of experimental designs in which both within- and between- subjects factors are manipulated. They can be applied to data that are common in the behavioral and social sciences. The package includes: Hierarchical Bayes ANOVA models with normal response, t response, Binomial (Bernoulli) response, Poisson response, ordered multinomial response and multinomial response variables. All models accommodate unobserved heterogeneity by including a normal distribution of the parameters across individuals. Outputs of the package include tables of sums of squares, effect sizes and p-values, and tables of predictions, which are easily interpretable for behavioral and social researchers. The floodlight analysis and mediation analysis based on these models are also provided. BANOVA uses 'Stan' and 'JAGS' as the computational platform.
