Regional Summaries for Areal Data Modeled by ICAR Reference Prior Model

Description

This function takes data and sampled MCMC chains for an areal data set and gives fitted posterior values and summaries by region using the model by \insertCitekeefe2018ref.ICAR.

Usage

reg.summary(MCMCchain, X, Y, burnin)

Arguments

MCMCchain	Matrix of MCMC chains, using the sampling from \insertCitekeefe2018ref.ICAR.
X	Matrix of covariates.
Y	Vector of responses.
burnin	Number of MCMC iterations discarded as burn-in in MCMCchain.

Value

A list of the fitted distributions by region, and medians and credible intervals by region.

fit.dist	Matrix of fitted posterior values for each region in the data.
reg.medians	Vector of posterior medians for fitted response by region.
reg.cred	Data frame of credbile intervals by region.
