formula |
A symbolic description of the model to be fit specifying the response variable and covariates. |
data |
A data frame in which to interpret the variables in |
a0 |
The prior variance of alpha. |
b0 |
The prior variance of beta_j. |
c0 |
The prior variance of gamma. |
d0 |
The prior variance of delta_j. |
e0 |
The shape parameter for the inverse gamma prior on sigma^2. |
f0 |
The inverse scale parameter the inverse gamma prior on sigma^2. |
n.burnin |
Number of burn-in iterations of the sampler. |
n.mcmc |
Number of iterations of the sampler. |
n.thin |
Thinning interval. |
tune |
Tuning parameter of Metropolis-Hastings step. |
scale |
If true, all covariates (except binary variables) are rescaled by dividing by their respective standard errors. |
The considered zero-inflated count model is given by
y*_i ~ Poisson[exp(eta*_i)],
eta*_i = x_i' * beta + epsilon_i, epsilon_i ~ N( 0, sigma^2 ),
d*_i = x_i' * delta + nu_i, nu_i ~ N(0,1),
y_i = 1(d*_i>0) y*_i,
where y_i and x_i are observed. The assumed prior distributions are
alpha ~ N(0,a0),
beta_k ~ N(0,b0), k=1,...,K,
gamma ~ N(0,c0)
delta_k ~ N(0,d0), k=1,...,K,
sigma^2 ~ Inv-Gamma(e0,f0).
The sampling algorithm described in Jochmann (2013) is used.
