Mmodel_compute_cor: Compute correlation coefficients between diseases

In bigDM: Scalable Bayesian Disease Mapping Models for High-Dimensional Data

Compute correlation coefficients between diseases

Description

This function takes a inla object fitted using the MCAR_INLA function and computes the correlation coefficients between diseases.

Usage

Mmodel_compute_cor(model, n.sample = 10000)

Arguments

model	object of class inla fitted using the MCAR_INLA function.
n.sample	numeric; number of samples to generate from the approximated joint posterior for the hyperparameters (see help(inla.hyperpar.sample)). Default to 1000.

Value

The input inla object with two additional elements:

summary.cor	A data.frame containing the mean, standard deviation, quantiles and mode of the correlation coefficients between diseases.
marginals.cor	A list containing the posterior marginal densities of the correlation coefficients between diseases.
summary.var	A data.frame containing the mean, standard deviation, quantiles and mode of the variances for each disease.
marginals.var	A list containing the posterior marginal densities of the variances for each disease.
