Prior specification for model hyperparameters
Description
Specification of the hyperparameters for the Gamma prior on the roughness penalty parameter associated to the P-spline model and the Gamma prior on the overdispersion parameter of the negative binomial model underlying the incidence data.
Usage
Rmodelpriors(
listcontrol = list(a_delta = 10, b_delta = 10, phi = 2, a_rho = 1e-04, b_rho = 1e-04)
)
Arguments
listcontrol |
A list specifying the hyperparameters in the Gamma priors
for the roughness penalty parameter of the P-spline model (named
|
Value
A list with the specified hyperparameter components. By default,
a_{\delta} = b_{\delta} = 10
, \phi = 2
and
a_{\rho}=b_{\rho}=10^{-4}
.
