In mrbayes: Bayesian Summary Data Models for Mendelian Randomization Studies

Bayesian inverse variance weighted model with a choice of prior distributions fitted using RStan.

Description

Bayesian inverse variance weighted model with a choice of prior distributions fitted using RStan

Usage

mr_radialegger_stan(
  data,
  prior = 1,
  n.chains = 3,
  n.burn = 1000,
  n.iter = 5000,
  rho = 0.5,
  seed = 12345,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	A data of class mr_format.
prior	An integer for selecting the prior distributions; 1 selects a non-informative set of priors; 2 selects weakly informative priors; 3 selects a pseudo-horseshoe prior on the causal effect; 4 selects joint prior of the intercept and causal effect estimate.
n.chains	Numeric indicating the number of chains used in the HMC estimation in rstan, the default is 3 chains.
n.burn	Numeric indicating the burn-in period of the Bayesian HMC estimation. The default is 1000 samples.
n.iter	Numeric indicating the number of iterations in the Bayesian HMC estimation. The default is 5000 iterations.
rho	Numeric indicating the correlation coefficient input into the joint prior distribution. The default is 0.5.
seed	Numeric indicating the random number seed. The default is 12345.
...	Additional arguments passed through to rstan::sampling().

Value

An object of class rstan::stanfit.
