BSBT 
Bayesian Spatial Bradley--Terry
<!-- badges: end -->
📦 The BSBT R package allows you to fit the Bayesian Spatial Bradley--Terry model to comparative judgement data sets. The package estimates the quality of each object in the data set based on the observed comparisons. The package includes functions to construct the prior distribution covariance matrix from a network or set of coordinates. The package also contains functions to run a number of different MCMC algorithms to estimate the level of deprivation in each aobject in the data set. Also included is a comparative judgement data set on deprivation in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Installation
You can install BSBT by calling the following commands:
```{r}
install.packages("BSBT")
devtools::install_github("rowlandseymour/BSBT", dependencies = TRUE) #for development version
```
Creating a Network from a Set of Areas
The first step is to create a network from the set of areas. Here's an example of a network made from Local Authority Areas in the England:
There are two ways to do this in BSBT. The first is to construct an adjacency matrix, which describes which areas are neighbours. This can then be fed into constrained_adjacent_covariance_function. The second way is to use coordinates which can be used withconstrained_covariance_matrix. This uses the Euclidean distance metric.
Fitting the Model
The BSBT package uses MCMC the estimate the model parameters. The MCMC can be run by calling the run_mcmc function. This make take some time, up to a few hours, depending on how many areas there are in the model. Here are the results of the method applied to a comparative judgement data set in Tanzania:
Data
In the package, there is a comparative judgement data set collected in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It includes over 75,000 comparisons, where citizens where are to compare subwards in the city based on deprivation. Also included are shapefiles for the 452 subwards. These can be accessed by calling data(dar.comparisons, package = "BSBT") and data(dar.shapefiles, package = "BSBT").
There is also code for simulating comparative judgement data given the underlying levels of deprivation. More information can be found by calling ?BSBT::simulate_contests
