The package BTIME uses Bayesian hierarchical models to model immune cell populations and detect associations with a predictor variable. This models each cell type simultaneously while incorporating potential relationships between the cell populations. The relationship utilized in this model is user dependent based on the function inputs. This package utilizes rjags and runjags packages to run Gibbs sampling for posterior estimation.
