ctStanParnames: ctStanParnames

In ctsem: Continuous Time Structural Equation Modelling

ctStanParnames

Description

Gets internal stan parameter names of a ctStanFit object sampled via stan based on specified substrings.

Usage

ctStanParnames(x, substrings = c("pop_", "popsd"))

Arguments

x	ctStanFit object
substrings	vector of character strings, parameter names of the stan model containing any of these strings will be returned. Useful strings may be 'pop_' for population means, 'popsd' for population standard deviations, or specific combinations such as 'pop_DRIFT' for the population means of temporal dynamics parameters

Value

vector of character strings.

Examples

sunspots<-sunspot.year
sunspots<-sunspots[50: (length(sunspots) - (1988-1924))]
id <- 1
time <- 1749:1924
datalong <- cbind(id, time, sunspots)

#setup model
ssmodel <- ctModel(type='stanct', n.latent=2, n.manifest=1, 
 manifestNames='sunspots', 
 latentNames=c('ss_level', 'ss_velocity'),
 LAMBDA=matrix(c( 1, 'ma1| log(1+(exp(param)))' ), nrow=1, ncol=2),
 DRIFT=matrix(c(0, 'a21 | -log(1+exp(param))', 1, 'a22'), nrow=2, ncol=2),
 MANIFESTMEANS=matrix(c('m1|param * 10 + 44'), nrow=1, ncol=1),
 MANIFESTVAR=diag(0,1), #As per original spec
 CINT=matrix(c(0, 0), nrow=2, ncol=1),
 DIFFUSION=matrix(c(0, 0, 0, "diffusion"), ncol=2, nrow=2))

#fit
ssfit <- ctStanFit(datalong, ssmodel, iter=2, 
  optimize=FALSE, chains=1)
ctStanParnames(ssfit,substrings=c('pop_','popsd'))
