Abstract

Provides deterministic approximation methods for use with the 'nimble' package. These include Laplace approximation and higher-order extension of Laplace approximation using adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature (AGHQ), plus nested deterministic approximation methods related to the 'INLA' approach. Additional information is available in the NIMBLE User Manual and a 'nimbleQuad' tutorial, both available at .
