If you follow me on Twitter or read Uncommon Ground, you may remember that I announced last September that I’d written a new version of Hickory (a C++ program that Paul Lewis and I wrote) using R and Stan for Bayesian analysis of Wright’s F-statistics. This set of notes outlines the basic principle behind the approach and provides an overview of using Hickory for analysis of F-statistics. Hickory can do more than is illustrated here. If you’re interested, visit the Github page. If you’re really interested, follow the instructions there to install it as a package in R.
