Nokome Bentley’s R package influ was developed for use with frequentist models fitted in R using the glm function. The infu2 package is the Bayesian couterpart and has been developed for use with brms. It works with population-level or group-level effects, the Bayesian equivalents of fixed-effects and random-effects. It contains functions for extracting coefficients, calculating the influence of terms, generating CDI plots, step plots, and other diagnostic plots.

Installation

The influ2 package can be installed from within R using:

library(devtools)
install_github(repo = "quantifish/influ2", build_vignettes = TRUE)
