BayesLinearKinematics

Adjusting beliefs using Bayes linear (kinematics) rules via an R package.

This package allows for the representation of second-order beliefs about variables to stored in a bl class (which is introduced in this package). The package provides functions to update beliefs using standard Bayes linear rules (as described in Goldstein and Wooff, 2007), to update using kinematics (as described in Goldstein and Shaw, 2004) and to perform operations on beliefs (like subseting and calculating resolutions).
