bru_pred_expr: Predictor expression handler object

In inlabru: Bayesian Latent Gaussian Modelling using INLA and Extensions

Predictor expression handler object

Description

Create and access predictor expression information, keeping track of what latent variables are used, whether the predictor is additive/linear/rowwise.

Usage

new_bru_pred_expr(
  x,
  ...,
  used = NULL,
  is_rowwise = NULL,
  .envir = parent.frame()
)

bru_pred_expr(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru_obs'
bru_pred_expr(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru_obs_list'
bru_pred_expr(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru_info'
bru_pred_expr(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru_model'
bru_pred_expr(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru'
bru_pred_expr(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru_pred_expr'
bru_pred_expr(x, ..., format = "object", raw = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'bru_pred_expr'
format(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bru_pred_expr'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x	For creation, a formula or character string giving the predictor expression. If the character string is ".", it is taken to mean an additive expression including all latent variables. For access, an object containing a bru_pred_expr object.
...	Passed on to submethods
used	An optional bru_used object, overriding the automated detection. Default: NULL
is_rowwise	logical; whether the predictor can be assumed to use the input data rowwise, so that blockwise evaluation is possible. If NULL, it needs to be set before use. Default: NULL
.envir	The environment in which to evaluate the expression.
format	Character; one of "object" (the default), "text" (plain text), "quo" (an rlang quosure), "expr" (an rlang expression), "formula" (the original formula input if available, otherwise constructed from the expression), "formula_text" (a text version of the "formula"), "resp_text" (plain text of the response side of the formula).
raw	Logical; whether to return the raw expression without substituting BRU_EXPRESSION with the used latent variables. Default: FALSE

Methods (by class)

• bru_pred_expr(bru_obs): Accessor for the bru_pred_expr object stored inside a bru_obs object.

• bru_pred_expr(bru_obs_list): Accessor for the bru_pred_expr objects stored inside a bru_obs_list object.

• bru_pred_expr(bru_info): Accessor for the bru_pred_expr object stored inside a bru_info object.

• bru_pred_expr(bru_model): Accessor for the bru_pred_expr object stored inside a bru_model object.

• bru_pred_expr(bru): Accessor for the bru_pred_expr object stored inside a bru object.

• bru_pred_expr(bru_pred_expr): Access a bru_pred_expr object or convert it to text or expression object.

Functions

• new_bru_pred_expr(): Create a bru_pred_expr object from a formula or character string.

• bru_pred_expr(): Accessor generic for bru_pred_expr objects, including ones stored inside other objects.

Examples

(new_bru_pred_expr(~ x + z + Intercept))
