hmde: Hierarchical Methods for Differential Equations

Wrapper for 'Stan' that offers a number of in-built models to implement a hierarchical Bayesian longitudinal model for repeat observation data. Model choice selects the differential equation that is fit to the observations. Single and multi-individual models are available. O'Brien et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14463>.
