controlmcmcSDA: control.mcmcSDA

In SDALGCP: Spatially Discrete Approximation to Log-Gaussian Cox Processes for Aggregated Disease Count Data

Description

This function helps to define the number of iteration, burn-in, thining, and the tunning parameters of the adaptive MALA

Usage

controlmcmcSDA(n.sim, burnin, thin, h, c1.h, c2.h)

Arguments

n.sim	the number of iteration
burnin	The number of burn-in
thin	the number of thining
h	tuning parameter of the proposal distribution used in the Langevin-Hastings MCMC algorithm (see Laplace.sampling); default is h=NULL and then set internally as 1.65/n(1/6), where n is the dimension of the random effect.
c1.h	value of c1 used in the adaptive scheme for h; default is c1.h=0.01. See also 'Details' in PrevMap package
c2.h	value of c2 used in the adaptive scheme for h; default is c2.h=1e-04. See also 'Details' in PrevMap package

Details

To be used as one of the arguments of SDALGCPMCML

Value

A list with processed arguments to be passed to the main function.
