In topepo/parsnip: A Common API to Modeling and Analysis Functions

r descr_models("poisson_reg", "stan")

Tuning Parameters

This engine has no tuning parameters.

Important engine-specific options

Some relevant arguments that can be passed to set_engine():

chains: A positive integer specifying the number of Markov chains. The default is 4.
iter: A positive integer specifying the number of iterations for each chain (including warmup). The default is 2000.
seed: The seed for random number generation.
cores: Number of cores to use when executing the chains in parallel.
prior: The prior distribution for the (non-hierarchical) regression coefficients. The "stan" engine does not fit any hierarchical terms.
prior_intercept: The prior distribution for the intercept (after centering all predictors).

See [rstan::sampling()] and [rstanarm::priors()] for more information on these and other options.

Translation from parsnip to the original package

r uses_extension("poisson_reg", "stan", "regression")

library(poissonreg)

poisson_reg() %>% 
  set_engine("stan") %>% 
  translate()

Note that the refresh default prevents logging of the estimation process. Change this value in set_engine() to show the MCMC logs.

Preprocessing requirements

Other details

For prediction, the "stan" engine can compute posterior intervals analogous to confidence and prediction intervals. In these instances, the units are the original outcome. When std_error = TRUE, the standard deviation of the posterior distribution (or posterior predictive distribution as appropriate) is returned.
