version: 1.2.5
identifiers:
- type: doi
  value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.VCBART
abstract: Fits linear varying coefficient (VC) models, which assert a linear relationship
  between an outcome and several covariates but allow that relationship (i.e., the
  coefficients or slopes in the linear regression) to change as functions of additional
  variables known as effect modifiers, by approximating the coefficient functions
  with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees. Implements a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler
  to simulate draws from the posterior over coefficient function evaluations. VC models
  with independent observations or repeated observations can be fit. For more details
  see Deshpande et al. (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1214/24-BA1470>.
