glm.logml.leap: Log marginal likelihood of a GLM under latent exchangeability...

In hdbayes: Bayesian Analysis of Generalized Linear Models with Historical Data

Log marginal likelihood of a GLM under latent exchangeability prior (LEAP)

Description

Uses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and bridge sampling to estimate the logarithm of the marginal likelihood of a GLM under the latent exchangeability prior (LEAP).

The arguments related to MCMC sampling are utilized to draw samples from the LEAP. These samples are then used to compute the logarithm of the normalizing constant of the LEAP using historical data sets.

Usage

glm.logml.leap(
  post.samples,
  bridge.args = NULL,
  iter_warmup = 1000,
  iter_sampling = 1000,
  chains = 4,
  ...
)

Arguments

post.samples	output from glm.leap() giving posterior samples of a GLM under the latent exchangeability prior (LEAP), with an attribute called 'data' which includes the list of variables specified in the data block of the Stan program.
bridge.args	a list giving arguments (other than samples, log_posterior, data, lb, and ub) to pass onto bridgesampling::bridge_sampler().
iter_warmup	number of warmup iterations to run per chain. Defaults to 1000. See the argument iter_warmup in sample() method in cmdstanr package.
iter_sampling	number of post-warmup iterations to run per chain. Defaults to 1000. See the argument iter_sampling in sample() method in cmdstanr package.
chains	number of Markov chains to run. Defaults to 4. See the argument chains in sample() method in cmdstanr package.
...	arguments passed to sample() method in cmdstanr package (e.g., seed, refresh, init).

Value

The function returns a list with the following objects

model

"LEAP"

logml

the estimated logarithm of the marginal likelihood

bs

an object of class bridge or bridge_list containing the output from using bridgesampling::bridge_sampler() to compute the logarithm of the normalizing constant of the latent exchangeability prior (LEAP) using all data sets

bs.hist

an object of class bridge or bridge_list containing the output from using bridgesampling::bridge_sampler() to compute the logarithm of the normalizing constant of the LEAP using historical data sets

min_ess_bulk

the minimum estimated bulk effective sample size of the MCMC sampling

max_Rhat

the maximum Rhat
