lmBselect | R Documentation |
Variable selection and fitting Linear Models using bayesian inference.
lmBselect(
formula,
data,
graphOutput = TRUE,
nIter = 10000,
thin = 1,
effect = "random"
)
formula |
an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the model to be fitted. |
data |
an optional data frame containing the variables in the model. If not found in data, the variables are taken from environment(formula), typically the environment from which blm is called. |
graphOutput |
regression parameters graphical output (MCMC Trace and posterior density) |
nIter |
number of iterations |
thin |
thinning interval for monitors |
effect |
"fixed", "random" or "randomPrior" effect for variable selection |
Models for lm are specified symbolically. A typical model has the form response ~ terms where response is the (numeric) response vector and terms is a series of terms which specifies a linear predictor for response. The effect "randomPrior" adds a beta prior for the model inclusion probability. This induces a distribution for the number of included variables which has longer tails than the binomial distribution, allowing the model to learn about the degree of sparsity.
