Package: potts Version: 0.5-11 Date: 2022-08-12 Title: Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Potts Models Author: Charles J. Geyer and Leif Johnson Maintainer: Charles J. Geyer Depends: R (>= 3.6.0) Imports: stats, graphics Suggests: pooh (>= 0.2) Description: Do Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation of Potts models (Potts, 1952, ), which are the multi-color generalization of Ising models (so, as as special case, also simulates Ising models). Use the Swendsen-Wang algorithm (Swendsen and Wang, 1987, ) so MCMC is fast. Do maximum composite likelihood estimation of parameters (Besag, 1975, , Lindsay, 1988, ).
