Parallel computing in the statistical system Jasp

Modern statistical data analysis often requires powerful computers. Parallel computing is a technique to realize such a computer system. Although many “low-level” software technologies for parallel computing have been developed, they are not easy to use for statisticians who are accustomed to “high-level” statistical languages. In this paper, we describe high-level parallel computing functions in a statistical analysis system called Jasp. We implemented them mainly considering ease of use.
