init_latent_jags_multipleSS: Initialize individual latent status (only for JAGS)

In oslerinhealth-releases/baker: Bayesian Analysis Kit for Etiology Research

Description

Initialize individual latent status (only for JAGS)

Usage

init_latent_jags_multipleSS(MSS_list, cause_list,
  patho = unlist(lapply(MSS_list, colnames)))

Arguments

MSS_list	A list of silver-standard measurement data, possibly with more than one slices; see data_nplcm argument in nplcm
cause_list	See model_options arguments in nplcm
patho	A vector of measured pathogen name for MSS; default is colnames(MSS)

Details

In JAGS 3.4.0, if an initial value contradicts the probabilistic specification, e.g. MSS_1[i,j] ~ dbern(mu_ss_1[i,j]), where MSS_1[i,j]=1 but mu_ss_1[i,j]=0, then JAGS cannot understand it. In PERCH application, this is most likely used when the specificity of the silver-standard data is 1. Note: this is not a problem in WinBUGS.

Value

a list of numbers, indicating categories of individual latent causes.
