bayesboot: An R package for easy Bayesian bootstrapping

In this talk, presented at UseR! 2016, I will explain the model behind the Bayesian bootstrap, how it connects to the classical bootstrap and in what situations the Bayesian bootstrap is useful. I will also show how one can easily perform Bayesian bootstrap analyses in R using my package bayesboot (https://cran.r-project.org/package=bayesboot).

For more info on the Bayesian bootstrap see my blog: http://www.sumsar.net/blog/2015/04/the-non-parametric-bootstrap-as-a-bayesian-model/
