The Bayesian analysis of contingency table data using the bayesloglin R package

For log-linear analysis, the hyper Dirichlet conjugate prior is available to work in the Bayesian paradigm. With this prior, the MC3 algorithm allows for exploration of the space of models to try to find those with the highest posterior probability. Once top models have been identified, a block Gibbs sampler can be constructed to sample from the posterior distribution and to estimate parameters of interest. Our aim in this paper, is to introduce the bayesloglin R package \citep{R} which contains functions to carry out these tasks.
