gibbs_mult_fpca: Multilevel FoSR using a Gibbs sampler and FPCA

In refund: Regression with Functional Data

Multilevel FoSR using a Gibbs sampler and FPCA

Description

Fitting function for function-on-scalar regression for longitudinal data. This function estimates model parameters using a Gibbs sampler and estimates the residual covariance surface using FPCA.

Usage

gibbs_mult_fpca(
  formula,
  Kt = 5,
  Kp = 2,
  data = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  N.iter = 5000,
  N.burn = 1000,
  sig2.me = 0.01,
  alpha = 0.1,
  SEED = NULL
)

Arguments

formula	a formula indicating the structure of the proposed model.
Kt	number of spline basis functions used to estimate coefficient functions
Kp	number of FPCA basis functions to be estimated
data	an optional data frame, list or environment containing the variables in the model. If not found in data, the variables are taken from environment(formula), typically the environment from which the function is called.
verbose	logical defaulting to TRUE – should updates on progress be printed?
N.iter	number of iterations used in the Gibbs sampler
N.burn	number of iterations discarded as burn-in
sig2.me	starting value for measurement error variance
alpha	tuning parameter balancing second-derivative penalty and zeroth-derivative penalty (alpha = 0 is all second-derivative penalty)
SEED	seed value to start the sampler; ensures reproducibility
