BayesTwin: An R Package for Bayesian Inference of Item-Level Twin Data

BayesTwin is an open-source R package that serves as a pipeline to the MCMC program JAGS to perform Bayesian inference on genetically-informative hierarchical twin data. Simultaneously to the biometric model, an item response theory (IRT) measurement model is estimated, allowing analysis of the raw...
