mrbayes 0.5.3

• The minimum version of R is now 4.3.0. This is required by the distributional package (a transitive dependency via rstan → loo → posterior), which uses chooseOpsMethod() (introduced in R 4.3.0).
• Fixes for segfault on macOS ARM runners on r-universe.
• Bump roxygen2 to 8.0.0.
• Fix hardcoded 3-exposure loop in MVMR-Egger print/summary.
• Fix broken “joint” prior branch in mvmr_egger_rjags().
• Fix sigma parameterization in mr_radialegger_rjags().
• Fix wrong function name in Stan MVMR error messages.
• Complete the sigma < 1 warning message in egger rjags functions.
• Fix bmi_insulin column count in documentation.
• Fix comment typos in egger rjags functions.
• Constrain prior to 1-3 in mvmregger.stan.
• Remove no-op prior self-assignment in rjags functions.
• Check for rjags before class in MVMR rjags functions.
• Widen non-informative intercept prior in mregger.stan.

mrbayes 0.5.2

• The NAMESPACE now imports fewer functions from other packages.

• The number of dependency packages has been reduced.

• Added a CITATION file.

• The datasets are now compressed.

• Maintainer switched to TP.

mrbayes 0.5.1

• The mvmr_egger_rjags() helpfile example is now only run if the rjags package is installed.

mrbayes 0.5.0

• The examples in the helpfiles for all functions and in the testthat test files now check whether the relevant Bayesian software package is installed (i.e. rstan or rjags). This is because JAGS does not compile on the aarch64 (Apple M1 processor) architecture.

mrbayes 0.4.0

• Additional checks for installation of JAGS.

mrbayes 0.3.0

• Additional functions for multivariate IVW and MR-Egger using JAGS and rstan

mrbayes 0.2.0

• IVW implemented using rstan.

• MR-Egger implemented using rstan.

• Radial MR-Egger implemented using rstan.

mrbayes 0.1.0

• IVW, MR-Egger, and their radial versions implemented using JAGS.
