dnsrposoba: Objective posterior density for the NSR model

In OBASpatial: Objective Bayesian Analysis for Spatial Regression Models

Objective posterior density for the NSR model

Description

It calculates the density function π(φ) (up to a proportionality constant) for the TSR model using the based reference, Jeffreys' rule, Jeffreys' independent and vague priors. In this context φ corresponds to the range parameter.

Usage

dnsrposoba(x,formula,prior="reference",coords.col=1:2,
kappa=0.5,cov.model="exponential",data,asigma=2.1,intphi)

Arguments

x	The φ quantil value.
formula	A valid formula for a linear regression model.
prior	Objective prior densities avaiable for the TSR model: ( reference: Reference based, jef.rul: Jeffreys' rule, jef.ind: Jeffreys' independent).
coords.col	A vector with the column numbers corresponding to the spatial coordinates.
kappa	Shape parameter of the covariance function (fixed).
cov.model	Covariance functions available for the TSR model. matern: Matern, pow.exp: power exponential, exponential:exponential, cauchy: Cauchy, spherical: Spherical.
data	Data set with 2D spatial coordinates, the response and optional covariates.
asigma	Value of a for vague prior.
intphi	An interval for φ used for vague prior.

Details

The posterior distribution is computed for this priors under the improper family \frac{π(φ)}{(σ^2)^a}. For the vague prior, it was considered the structure where a priori, φ folows an uniform distribution on the interval intphi.

For the Jeffreys independent prior, this family of priors generates improper posterior distribution when intercept is considered for the mean function.

Value

Posterior density of x=φ.
