crudeOR {BayesSenMC}

Model without misclassification

Description

Generate a stanfit object corresponding to a posterior distribution of uncorrected odds ratio given no misclassification.

Usage

crudeOR(
  a,
  N1,
  c,
  N0,
  logitpi0_prior = c(0, 10),
  lor_prior = c(0, 2),
  chains = 2,
  traceplot = FALSE,
  inc_warmup = FALSE,
  window = NULL,
  refresh = 0,
  seed = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

a

number of exposed subjects in the case group.

N1

number of total subjects in the case group.

c

number of exposed subjects in the control group.

N0

number of total subjects in the control group.

logitpi0_prior

mean and sd of the prior normal distribution of logit(pi0). Default to c(0,10).

lor_prior

mean and sd of the prior normal distribution of corrected log odds ratio. Default to c(0,2).

chains

number of Markov Chains. Default to 2.

traceplot

Logical, defaulting to FALSE. If TRUE it will draw the traceplot corresponding to one or more Markov chains.

inc_warmup

Only evaluated when traceplot = TRUE. TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether or not to include the warmup sample in the traceplot; defaults to FALSE.

window

Only evaluated when traceplot = TRUE. A vector of length 2. Iterations between window[1] and window[2] will be shown in the plot. The default shows all iterations if inc_warmup is TRUE and all iterations from the sampling period only if inc_warmup is FALSE. If inc_warmup is FALSE the iterations specified in window do not include iterations from the warmup period. The default number of iterations is 2000 unless otherwise specified in the optional iter argument.

refresh

an integer value used to control how often the progress of sampling is reported. By default, the progress indicator is turned off, thus refresh <= 0. If on, refresh = max(iter/10, 1) is generally recommended.

seed

the seed for random number generation. Default to 0. See stan for more details.

...

optional parameters passed to stan.

Value

It returns a stanfit object of this model, which inherits stanfit class methods. See rstan for more details.
