4d-Modeller – R library to make Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling easy
Hi, I've been working with other colleagues at University of Bristol for the last year to build an R-package that makes bayesian spatio-temporal modeling easy. That is, if you have some problem like predicting sea level rise over time, disease transmissions, etc., this package may be useful for you. It centers on a collection of Shiny apps that guide you through using the various pieces of spatio-temporal modeling packages like R-INLA or inlabru. Hopefully people find this useful. I think the nice part is that we really tried to design the package so you can add it to your modeling tool kit…
4d-Modeller – R library to make Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling easy launched on December 23, 2023 with 20 votes, #853 of 3,780 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
4d-Modeller is an R package developed at the University of Bristol that simplifies Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling through a collection of Shiny apps. It guides users through tools like R-INLA and inlabru for applications such as predicting sea level rise or disease transmission. The package is designed to integrate into existing modeling workflows without requiring extensive R programming knowledge.

4DModeller statistical modelling package
4DModeller is a spatio-temporal modelling package that can be applied to problems at any scale from micro to processes that operate at a global scale. It includes data visualization tools, finite element mesh building tools, Bayesian hierarchical modelling based on Bayesian inference packages INLA and inlabru , and model evaluation and assessment tools. 4DModeller has been designed to make it easy to design spatially distributed, temporally dependent statistical models. Typically, 4DModeller expects tabular data sets with spatial coordinates, time indices, and the values that change or remain constant over those times. It is designed to be used in the modelling process once data has been…from 4dmodeller.github.io

There are a ton of ways to solve this problem, I've always personally been a fan of using kalman filters for the job as its easy to get the double whammy of resampling/upsampling to a fixed consistent rate and also smoothing/outlier rejection. I wrote a little numpy only bayesian filtering/smoothing library recently (https://github.com/hugohadfield/bayesfilter/) so this felt like a fun and very useful first thing to…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
