loo: Efficient Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation and WAIC for Bayesian Models

We efficiently approximate leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO) using Pareto smoothed importance sampling (PSIS), a new procedure for regularizing importance weights. As a byproduct of our calculations, we also obtain approximate standard errors for estimated predictive errors, and for the comparison of predictive errors between two models. We also compute the widely applicable information criterion (WAIC).
