sampled_forstmann: A sampled object of a model of the Forstmann dataset

sampled_forstmannR Documentation

A sampled object of a model of the Forstmann dataset

Description

A pmwgs object with a limited number of samples of the Forstmann dataset.

Usage

sampled_forstmann

Format

A pmwgs object minus the data. A pmwgs opbject is a list with a specific structure and elements, as outlined below.

par_names

A character vector containing the model parameter names

n_pars

The number of parameters in the model

n_subjects

The number of unique subject ID's in the data

subjects

A vector containing the unique subject ID's

prior

A list that holds the prior for theta_mu (the model parameters). Contains the mean (theta_mu_mean), covariance matrix (theta_mu_var) and inverse covariance matrix (theta_mu_invar)

ll_func

The log likielihood function used by pmwg for model estimation

samples

A list with defined structure containing the samples, see the Samples Element section for more detail

Details

The pmwgs object is missing one aspect, the pmwgs$data element. In order to fully replicate the full object (ie to run more sampling stages) you will need to add the data back in, via sampled_forstmann$data <- forstmann

Samples Element

The samples element of a PMwG object contains the different types of samples estimated by PMwG. These include the three main types of samples theta_mu, theta_sig and alpha as well as a number of other items which are detailed here.

theta_mu

samples used for estimating the model parameters (group level), an array of size (n_pars x n_samples)

theta_sig

samples used for estimating the parameter covariance matrix, an array of size (n_pars x n_pars x n_samples)

alpha

samples used for estimating the subject random effects, an array of size (n_pars x n_subjects x n_samples)

stage

A vector containing what PMwG stage each sample was drawn in

subj_ll

The winning particles log-likelihood for each subject and sample

a_half

Mixing weights used during the Gibbs step when creating a new sample for the covariance matrix

last_theta_sig_inv

The inverse of the last samples covariance matrix

idx

The index of the last sample drawn
