Description

Initialisation of parameters

Usage

f_paras.ini(data, outcomes, mapped.to.LP, fixed_X0.models,
  fixed_DeltaX.models, randoms_DeltaX.models, randoms_X0.models, nb_RE,
  mod_trans.model, subject, Time, link, knots, DeltaT, maxiter = 25,
  epsa = 1e-04, epsb = 1e-04, epsd = 1e-04, nproc = 1,
  print.info = TRUE)

Arguments

`data`	indicates the data frame containing all the variables for estimating the model
`outcomes`	names of the outcomes
`mapped.to.LP`	indicates which outcome measured which latent process, it is a mapping table between outcomes and latents processes
`fixed_X0.models`	fixed effects in the submodel for the baseline level of processes
`fixed_DeltaX.models`	a two-sided linear formula object for specifying the response outcomes (one the left part of ~ symbol) and the covariates with fixed-effects (on the right part of ~ symbol)
`randoms_DeltaX.models`	random effects in the submodel for change over time of latent processes
`randoms_X0.models`	random effects in the submodel for the baseline level of processes
`nb_RE`	number of random effects
`mod_trans.model`	model for elements of the temporal transition matrix, which captures the temporal influences between latent processes
`subject`	indicates the name of the covariate representing the grouping structure
`Time`	indicates the name of the covariate representing the time
`link`	indicates link used to transform outcome
`knots`	indicates position of knots used to transform outcomes
`DeltaT`	indicates the discretization step
`maxiter`	maximum iteration
`epsa`	threshold for the convergence criterion on the parameters, default value is 1.e-4
`epsb`	threshold for the convergence criterion on the likelihood, default value is 1.e-4
`epsd`	threshold for the convergence criterion on the derivatives, default value is 1.e-3
`nproc`	number of processor to be used for running this package
`print.info`	to print information during the liklihood optimization, default value is FALSE
