posteriors: Calculate the posteriors for a specified and estimated model

In mixl: Simulated Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Mixed Logit Models for Large Datasets

Calculate the posteriors for a specified and estimated model

Description

Calculate the posteriors for a specified and estimated model

Usage

posteriors(model, indiv_data, code_output_file = NULL)

Arguments

model	The estimated Model
indiv_data	Alternative individual data to use insteaf of that in the dataset
code_output_file	An (optional) location where the compiled code should be saved (useful for debugging

Value

Dataframe of individual-level posteriors

Examples

	data("Train", package="mlogit")
	Train$ID <- Train$id
	Train$CHOICE <- as.numeric(Train$choice)
	mnl_test <- "
	      ASC_A_RND = @ASC_A + draw_1 * @SIGMA_A1 + draw_7 * @SIGMA_A2;
	      ASC_B_RND = @ASC_B + draw_2 * @SIGMA_B;

	      U_A = ASC_A_RND + @B_price * $price_A / 1000 
	      		+ @B_time * $time_A / 60 + @B_change * $change_A; 
	      U_B = ASC_B_RND + @B_price * $price_B / 1000 + @B_timeB * $time_B / 60;
	    "
