logisticpost {LearnBayes}

Log posterior for a binary response model with a logistic link and a uniform prior

Description

Computes the log posterior density of (beta0, beta1) when yi are independent binomial(ni, pi) and logit(pi)=beta0+beta1*xi and a uniform prior is placed on (beta0, beta1)

Usage

logisticpost(beta,data)

Arguments

beta

vector of parameter values beta0 and beta1

data

matrix of columns of covariate values x, sample sizes n, and number of successes y

Value

value of the log posterior

Examples

x = c(-0.86,-0.3,-0.05,0.73)
n = c(5,5,5,5)
y = c(0,1,3,5)
data = cbind(x, n, y)
beta=c(2,10)
