PTrandom: Extracts Random Effects

In DPpackage: Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling in R

Description

Extracts random effects from PTglmm objects: PTlmm, PTolmm, and PTglmm.

Usage

PTrandom(object,centered=FALSE,predictive=FALSE,ngrid=1000,gridl=NULL)

Arguments

object	PT fitted model object from which random effects estimates can be extracted.
centered	logical variable indicating whether the random effects should be extracted centered, bi, or uncentered thetai. This option cannot be only used to get the density estimates.
predictive	logical variable indicating whether actual or predictive information of the random effects should be extracted.
ngrid	number of grid points where the density estimate is evaluated. This is only used if dimension of the random effects is lower or equal than 2 and if predictive=TRUE. The default value is 1000.
gridl	The limits of the interval or rectangle covered by the grid as c(xl,xu) or c(xl, xu, yl, yu), respectively. If not specified the grid is defined automatically. This is only used if dimension of the random effects is lower or equal than 2 and if predictive=TRUE.
