Chapter 5 Graphical user interface

This chapter introduces our graphical user interface (GUI) for conducting Bayesian regression analysis in a user-friendly environment, requiring no programming skills (drag and drop). Our GUI is built as an interactive web application using shiny (Chang 2018) and incorporates packages such as MCMCpack (Martin, Quinn, and Park 2018) and bayesm (P. Rossi 2017) from the R software (R Core Team 2023). It is designed for teaching and applied purposes at an introductory level. In the following chapters of the second part of this book, we present several applications that demonstrate the potential of our GUI for applied researchers and practitioners.
