HPDwidth: HPD Width Simulation

In andyhoegh/UncertainOrd: Accounts for Uncertainty in Model-Based Unconstrained Ordination

Description

This function simulates multivariate data from a latent factor model to estimate the average width of the HPD intervals

Usage

HPDwidth(family, n, p, num.replicates = 1, mu.alpha = 0,
  sd.alpha = 1, mu.beta = 1, sd.beta = 1)

Arguments

family	- family of the distribution, "binomial" and "poisson" are currently supported
n	- number of sites.
p	- number of species
num.replicates	- number of simulations: default is 1
mu.alpha	- mean for alpha parameter: default is 0
sd.alpha	- sd for alpha parameter: default is 1
mu.beta	- mean for beta parameter: default is 0
sd.beta	- sd for beta parameter: default is 1

Value

width - average HPD across all latent factors

Examples

HPDwidth('binomial',10,10)
