fitdistrBayes - Objective Bayesian Distribution Fitting
Fits common univariate distributions using registered
objective Bayesian priors, including Jeffreys, reference, and
maximal data information priors, and supports user-defined
distributions and priors through an extensible model
specification. Model-specific posterior propriety and moment
conditions are checked before computation when registered or
supplied. Exact simulation, marginalization, slice sampling,
adaptive Metropolis, and user-supplied posterior samplers share
a common interface for summaries, diagnostics, prediction, and
pointwise log-likelihood evaluation. A separate interface fits
independently right-censored observations using the registered
complete-data priors, observed-data likelihood sampling or data
augmentation, with sufficient posterior-propriety checks.
Optional post-processing provides WAIC, PSIS-LOO, and DIC for
observed-data likelihoods. The reference-prior framework
follows Bernardo (1979)
