bglmer and residual prior

2

Is the `resid.prior` option intended to only be supported for `blmer` models? I was trying to set a gamma (1,1) prior on the residual variance (essentially, a unit exponential prior)...

horseshoe prior

As a possible feature, would it be possible to add a horseshoe prior option for the non-grouped variables? It is very useful in Stan but computationally time-consuming on large data...

Microsoft R Open has become unusable (broken package updates, mysterious loss of support, lack of recent R updates) and it is not clear it will be updated beyond 3.5.3. If...
