sample_x_posterior: Sample from the posterior density of x

In MichaelHoltonPrice/yada: Yet Another Demographic Analysis package

Description

Do Metropolis-Hastings sampling of the posterior probability p(x|y,theta_x,theta_y) for the mixed cumulative probit model given the response vector y.

Usage

sample_x_posterior(
  y,
  th_x,
  th_y,
  mod_spec,
  num_samp,
  thinning = 1,
  prop_rescale = 0.1,
  seed = NA
)

Arguments

y	The response vector for a single observation
th_x	Parameterization for prior on x
th_y	Parameterization for likelihood
mod_spec	The model specification
seed	An optional input seed to make sampling reproducibile (default: NA, not used)
xcalc	A vector of ages at which to calculate the posterior probability

Value

A vector of posterior probabilities
