Parameters used by several functions in JointAI
Description
Parameters used by several functions in JointAI
Arguments
object |
object inheriting from class 'JointAI' |
no_model |
optional; vector of names of variables for which no model should be specified. Note that this is only possible for completely observed variables and implies the assumptions of independence between the excluded variable and the incomplete variables. |
timevar |
name of the variable indicating the time of the measurement of a time-varying covariate in a proportional hazards survival model (also in a joint model). The variable specified in "timevar" will automatically be added to "no_model". |
assoc_type |
named vector specifying the type of the association used for a time-varying covariate in the linear predictor of the survival model when using a "JM" model. Implemented options are "underl.value" (linear predictor; default for covariates modelled using a Gaussian, Gamma, beta or log-normal distribution) covariates) and "obs.value" (the observed/imputed value; default for covariates modelled using other distributions). |
subset |
subset of parameters/variables/nodes (columns in the MCMC
sample). Follows the same principle as the argument
|
exclude_chains |
optional vector of the index numbers of chains that should be excluded |
start |
the first iteration of interest
(see |
end |
the last iteration of interest
(see |
n.adapt |
number of iterations for adaptation of the MCMC samplers
(see |
n.iter |
number of iterations of the MCMC chain (after adaptation;
see |
n.chains |
number of MCMC chains |
quiet |
logical; if |
progress.bar |
character string specifying the type of
progress bar. Possible values are "text" (default), "gui",
and "none" (see |
thin |
thinning interval (integer; see |
nrow |
optional; number of rows in the plot layout; automatically chosen if unspecified |
ncol |
optional; number of columns in the plot layout; automatically chosen if unspecified |
use_ggplot |
logical; Should ggplot be used instead of the base graphics? |
warn |
logical; should warnings be given? Default is
|
mess |
logical; should messages be given? Default is
|
xlab , ylab |
labels for the x- and y-axis |
idvars |
name of the column that specifies the multi-level grouping structure |
seed |
optional; seed value (for reproducibility) |
ppc |
logical: should monitors for posterior predictive checks be set? (not yet used) |
rd_vcov |
optional character string or list (of lists or character
strings) specifying the structure of the variance covariance
matrix/matrices of the random effects for multivariate
mixed models. Options are |
