posterior: Posterior Quantities from Bayesian Model Averaging

In dreamer: Dose Response Models for Bayesian Model Averaging

Posterior Quantities from Bayesian Model Averaging

Description

Calculate posterior mean (and quantiles for specific doses for each MCMC iteration of the model.

Usage

posterior(
  x,
  doses,
  times,
  probs,
  reference_dose,
  predictive,
  return_samples,
  iter,
  return_stats
)

## S3 method for class 'dreamer_mcmc'
posterior(
  x,
  doses = attr(x, "doses"),
  times = attr(x, "times"),
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  reference_dose = NULL,
  predictive = 0,
  return_samples = FALSE,
  iter = NULL,
  return_stats = TRUE
)

## S3 method for class 'dreamer_mcmc_independent'
posterior(
  x,
  doses = attr(x, "doses"),
  times = attr(x, "times"),
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  reference_dose = NULL,
  predictive = 0,
  return_samples = FALSE,
  iter = NULL,
  return_stats = TRUE
)

## S3 method for class 'dreamer_bma'
posterior(
  x,
  doses = x$doses,
  times = x$times,
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  reference_dose = NULL,
  predictive = 0,
  return_samples = FALSE,
  iter = NULL,
  return_stats = TRUE
)

Arguments

x	output from a call to dreamer_mcmc.
doses	doses at which to estimate posterior quantities.
times	a vector of times at which to calculate the posterior response (for longitudinal models only).
probs	quantiles of the posterior to be calculated.
reference_dose	the dose at which to adjust the posterior plot. Specifying a dose returns the plot of pr(trt_dose - trt_{reference_dose} | data).
predictive	An integer. If greater than 0, the return values will be from the predictive distribution of the mean of predictive observations. If 0 (default), the posterior on the dose response mean is returned.
return_samples	logical indicating if the weighted raw MCMC samples from the Bayesian model averaging used to calculate the mean and quantiles should be returned.
iter	an index on which iterations of the MCMC should be used in the calculations. By default, all MCMC iterations are used.
return_stats	logical indicating whether or not the posterior statistics should be calculated.

Value

A named list with the following elements:

• stats: a tibble the dose, posterior mean, and posterior quantiles.

• samps: the weighted posterior samples. Only returned if return_samples = TRUE.

Methods (by class)

• posterior(dreamer_mcmc): posterior summary for linear model.

• posterior(dreamer_mcmc_independent): posterior summary for independent model.

• posterior(dreamer_bma): posterior summary for Bayesian model averaging fit.

Examples

set.seed(888)
data <- dreamer_data_linear(
  n_cohorts = c(20, 20, 20),
  dose = c(0, 3, 10),
  b1 = 1,
  b2 = 3,
  sigma = 5
)

# Bayesian model averaging
output <- dreamer_mcmc(
 data = data,
 n_adapt = 1e3,
 n_burn = 1e3,
 n_iter = 1e4,
 n_chains = 2,
 silent = FALSE,
 mod_linear = model_linear(
   mu_b1 = 0,
   sigma_b1 = 1,
   mu_b2 = 0,
   sigma_b2 = 1,
   shape = 1,
   rate = .001,
   w_prior = 1 / 2
 ),
 mod_quad = model_quad(
   mu_b1 = 0,
   sigma_b1 = 1,
   mu_b2 = 0,
   sigma_b2 = 1,
   mu_b3 = 0,
   sigma_b3 = 1,
   shape = 1,
   rate = .001,
   w_prior = 1 / 2
 )
)

posterior(output)

# return posterior samples of the mean
post <- posterior(output, return_samples = TRUE)
head(post$samps)

# from a single model
posterior(output$mod_quad)

# posterior of difference of doses
posterior(output, reference_dose = 0)
