gjamSensitivity: Sensitivity coefficients for gjam

In gjam: Generalized Joint Attribute Modeling

Sensitivity coefficients for gjam

Description

Evaluates sensitivity coefficients for full response matrix or subsets of it. Uses output from gjam. Returns a matrix of samples by predictors.

Usage

  gjamSensitivity(output, group = NULL, nsim = 100, PERSPECIES = TRUE)
  

Arguments

output	object fitted with gjam.
group	character vector of response-variable names from output$inputs$y.
nsim	number of samples from posterior distribution.
PERSPECIES	divide variance by number of species in the group

Details

Sensitivity to predictors of entire reponse matrix or a subset of it, identified by the character string group. The equations for sensitivity are given here:

Value

Returns a nsim by predictor matrix of sensitivities to predictor variables, evaluated by draws from the posterior. Because sensitivities may be compared across groups represented by different numbers of species, PERSPECIES = TRUE returns sensitivity on a per-species basis.
