hyper.g.n {BAS}

Generalized hyper-g/n Prior Distribution for g for mixtures of g-priors on Coefficients in BMA Models

Description

Creates an object representing the hyper-g/n mixture of g-priors on coefficients for BAS. This is a special case of the tCCH prior

Usage

hyper.g.n(alpha = 3, n = NULL)

Arguments

alpha

a scalar > 0, recommended 2 < alpha <= 3

n

The sample size; if NULL, the value derived from the data in the call to 'bas.glm' will be used.

Details

Creates a structure used for bas.glm. This is a special case of the tCCH, where hyper.g.n(alpha=3, n) is equivalent to tCCH(alpha=1, beta=2, s=0, r=1.5, v = 1, theta=1/n)

Value

returns an object of class "prior", with the family and hyerparameters.
