GeneralModel-class: 'GeneralModel'
Description
![[Stable]](../help/figures/lifecycle-stable.svg)
GeneralModel is a general model class, from which all other specific
model-like classes inherit. The GeneralModel class inherits from
AllModels.
Slots
datamodel(
function)
a function representing theJAGSdata model specification.priormodel(
function)
a function representing theJAGSprior specification.modelspecs(
function)
a function computing the list of the data model and prior model specifications that are required to be specified completely (e.g. prior parameters, reference dose, etc.), based on the data slots that are required as arguments of this function.init(
function)
a function computing the list of starting values for parameters required to be initialized in the MCMC sampler, based on the data slots that are required as arguments of this function.sample(
character)
names of all parameters from which you would like to save the MCMC samples.
Note
The datamodel must obey the convention that the data input is
called exactly in the same way as in the corresponding data class.
All prior distributions for parameters should be contained in the
model function priormodel. The background is that this can
be used to simulate from the prior distribution, before obtaining any data.
