observed: Declares observed variables in a blatent model

In jonathantemplin/blatent: Bayesian Latent Variable Models

Declares observed variables in a blatent model

Description

Used in blatentSyntax to declare the distribution and link function for observed variables as an unevaluated function call. Sets specifications used in estimation.

Usage

observed(distribution = "bernoulli", link = "probit")

Arguments

distribution	Specifies the distribution of the observed variable(s) to which the function points. Defaults to "bernoulli". Distributions currently available are: "bernoulli": Specifies each variable follows a Bernoulli distribution.
link	Specifies the link function used for any observed variable model where the observed variable is predicted. Defaults to "probit". Link functions currently available are: "probit": Uses a probit link function. Available for variables where distribution = "bernoulli" only.
