 # IBGS
- The iterated block Gibbs sampler algorithm
+ Here is a brief introduction to the iterated block Gibbs sampler algorithm (IBGS).
+
+## Requirement
+ This package requires package "doParallel" to run and only works under non-windows environment.
+ 
+## Models
+ IBGS works for the generalized linear models containing linear, logistic, and poisson.
+ 
+## Model selection criteria
+ IBGS uses AIC, AICc, BIC and exBIC to evaluate the performance of candidate models.
+ 
+## Prediction
+ IBGS can use a model averaging scheme based on the smooth-SIC weights.
