The bark package implements estimation for a Bayesian nonparametric regression model represented as a sum of multivariate Gaussian kernels as a flexible model to capture nonlinearities, interactions and feature selection.
## Installation
You can install the released version of bark [![](https://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/bark)](https://cran.r-project.org/package=bark) from [CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org) with:
```{r eval=FALSE}
install.packages("bark")
```
And the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/merliseclyde/bark) with:
```{r eval=FALSE}
require("devtools")
devtools::install_github("merliseclyde/bark")
```
(verify that the branch has a passing R CMD check badge above)
## Example
```{r example}
library(bark)
set.seed(42)
traindata <- sim_Friedman2(200, sd=125)
testdata <- sim_Friedman2(1000, sd=0)
fit.bark.d <- bark(y ~ .,
data=data.frame(traindata),
testdata = data.frame(testdata),
classification=FALSE,
selection = TRUE,
common_lambdas = FALSE,
printevery = 10^10)
mean((fit.bark.d$yhat.test.mean-testdata$y)^2)
```
bark is similar to SVM, however it allows different kernel smoothing parameters for every dimension of the inputs $x$ as well as selection of inputs by allowing the kernel
smoothing parameters to be zero.
