A C++ library for Bayesian modeling, mainly through Markov chain Monte Carlo, but with a few other methods supported. BOOM = "Bayesian Object Oriented Modeling". It is also the sound your computer makes when it crashes.

The "Plot the factor loadings." section does not function as written;
Error in BoxplotTrue(model$shared.local.level.coefficients[-(1:burn), :
truth and x don't conform in boxplot.true
Some(<code style = 'font-size:10p'> Error in BoxplotTrue(model$shared.local.level.coefficients[-(1:burn), : truth and x don't conform in boxplot.true </code>)
The provided x (from model$shared.local.level.coefficients) is a (90, 6) matrix, while the truth (from observation.coefficients) is (1, 20). The full observation.coefficients is (20, 6), and a length 6 truth makes sense, so I believe there's a misplaced parenthesis; changing the BoxplotTrue line to the following results in plots:
