The BayesMallowsSMC2 package (now on CRAN) implements a more efficient and reliable SMC algorithm for Bayesian Mallows models.

Changes

  • Added prominent note in the Sequential Monte Carlo section linking to BayesMallowsSMC2
  • Updated both README.Rmd and README.md
  • Existing implementation and examples remain unchanged (Stein 2023 method)

The note appears immediately before the usage example:

**Note:** For a more efficient and reliable Sequential Monte Carlo
implementation, see the [BayesMallowsSMC2](https://github.com/osorensen/BayesMallowsSMC2)
package, which is now available on CRAN.
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Sequential Monte Carlo</issue_title>
<issue_description>Update the description of sequential Monte Carlo in README so that it links to to the more efficient implementation of SMC in the BayesMallowsSMC2 package which is now on CRAN. The usage example can still be there, as BayesMallows still implements the method of Stein (2023) but the BayesMallowsSMC2 package implements a much more reliable and efficient algorithm.</issue_description>
