List. Contains options for Bayesian estimation. See ?RSGHB::doHB for details.
Parameters modelname , gVarNamesFixed , gVarNamesNormal ,
gDIST , svN and FC are automatically set based on the
other arguments of this function.
Other settings to include are the following.
-
constraintNorm : Character vector. Constraints for random coefficients
in bayesian estimation. Constraints can be written as
"b1>b2", "b1<b2", "b1>0", or "b1<0".
-
fixedA : Named numeric vector. Contains the names and fixed mean values of
random parameters. For example, c(b1=0) fixes the mean of b1 to zero.
-
fixedD : Named numeric vector. Contains the names and fixed variance of
random parameters. For example, c(b1=1) fixes the variance of b1 to zero.
-
gFULLCV: Boolean. Whether the full variance-covariance structure should be used for random parameters (TRUE by default).
-
gNCREP : Numeric. Number of burn-in iterations to use prior to convergence (default=10^5).
-
gNEREP : Numeric. Number of iterations to keep for averaging after convergence has been reached (default=10^5).
-
gINFOSKIP : Numeric. Number of iterations between printing/plotting information about the iteration process (default=250).
-
hbDist : Mandatory setting. A named character vector determining
the distribution of each parameter to be estimated. Possible
values are as follows.
-
"CN+" : Positive censored normal.
-
"CN-" : Negative censored normal.
-
"JSB" : Johnson SB.
-
"LN+" : Positive log-normal.
-
"LN-" : Negative log-normal.
-
"N" : Normal.
-
"NR" : Fixed (as in non-random) parameter.
-
nodiagnostics : Boolean. Turn off pre-estimation diagnostics for RSGHB. Set to TRUE by default.
