Replicate Models For Replicated Data From True Distributions.

`initial.seed`	The variable `initial.seed` is used to replicate datasets. That is, if you take initial.seed = 1234, then the seed 1234, 1235, 1236, 1237, 1238, etc are for the first replication, the second replication, the third replication,etc. If the n-th model does not converge for some n, then such model has no mean and thus the non-convergent models are omitted to calculate the errors.
`mu.truth`	array of dimension (M,Q). Mean of the signal distribution of bi-normal assumption.
`v.truth`	array of dimension (M,Q). Standard Deviation of represents the signal distribution of bi-normal assumption.
`z.truth`	This is a parameter of the latent Gaussian assumption for the noise distribution.
`NI`	Number of Images.
`NL`	Number of Lesions.
`ModifiedPoisson`	Logical, that is `TRUE` or `FALSE`. If `ModifiedPoisson = TRUE`, then Poisson rate of false alarm is calculated *per lesion, and a model is fitted so that the FROC curve is an expected curve of points consisting of the pairs of TPF per lesion and FPF per lesion. Similarly, If `ModifiedPoisson = TRUE`, then Poisson rate of false alarm is calculated per image, and a model is fitted so that the FROC curve is an expected curve of points consisting of the pair of TPF per lesion and FPF per image. For more details, see the author's paper in which I explained per image* and per lesion. (for details of models, see vignettes , now, it is omiited from this package, because the size of vignettes are large.) If `ModifiedPoisson = TRUE`, then the False Positive Fraction (FPF) is defined as follows (F_c denotes the number of false alarms with confidence level c ) \frac{F_1+F_2+F_3+F_4+F_5}{N_L}, \frac{F_2+F_3+F_4+F_5}{N_L}, \frac{F_3+F_4+F_5}{N_L}, \frac{F_4+F_5}{N_L}, \frac{F_5}{N_L}, where N_L is a number of lesions (signal). To emphasize its denominator N_L, we also call it the False Positive Fraction (FPF) per lesion. On the other hand, if `ModifiedPoisson = FALSE` (Default), then False Positive Fraction (FPF) is given by \frac{F_1+F_2+F_3+F_4+F_5}{N_I}, \frac{F_2+F_3+F_4+F_5}{N_I}, \frac{F_3+F_4+F_5}{N_I}, \frac{F_4+F_5}{N_I}, \frac{F_5}{N_I}, where N_I is the number of images (trial). To emphasize its denominator N_I, we also call it the False Positive Fraction (FPF) per image. The model is fitted so that the estimated FROC curve can be ragraded as the expected pairs of FPF per image and TPF per lesion (`ModifiedPoisson = FALSE` ) or as the expected pairs of FPF per image and TPF per lesion (`ModifiedPoisson = TRUE`) If `ModifiedPoisson = TRUE`, then FROC curve means the expected pair of FPF per lesion and TPF. On the other hand, if `ModifiedPoisson = FALSE`, then FROC curve means the expected pair of FPF per image and TPF. So,data of FPF and TPF are changed thus, a fitted model is also changed whether `ModifiedPoisson = TRUE` or `FALSE`. In traditional FROC analysis, it uses only per images (trial). Since we can divide one image into two images or more images, number of trial is not important. And more important is per signal. So, the author also developed FROC theory to consider FROC analysis under per signal. One can see that the FROC curve is rigid with respect to change of a number of images, so, it does not matter whether `ModifiedPoisson = TRUE` or `FALSE`. This rigidity of curves means that the number of images is redundant parameter for the FROC trial and thus the author try to exclude it. Revised 2019 Dec 8 Revised 2019 Nov 25 Revised 2019 August 28
`replication.number`	For fixed number of lesions, images, the dataset of hits and false alarms are replicated, and the number of replicated datasets are specified by this variable.
`summary`	Logical: `TRUE` of `FALSE`. Whether to print the verbose summary. If `TRUE` then verbose summary is printed in the R console. If `FALSE`, the output is minimal. I regret, this variable name should be verbose.
`ite`	A variable to be passed to the function `rstan::sampling`() of rstan in which it is named `iter`. A positive integer representing the number of samples synthesized by Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method, and, Default = 1111

A list, each component is an S4 object of class stanfitExtended.
