Mmodel_iid {bigDM} | R Documentation |
Spatially non-structured multivariate latent effect
Description
M-model implementation of the spatially non-structured multivariate latent effect using the rgeneric
model of INLA.
Usage
Mmodel_iid(
cmd = c("graph", "Q", "mu", "initial", "log.norm.const", "log.prior", "quit"),
theta = NULL
)
Arguments
cmd |
Internal functions used by the |
theta |
Vector of hyperparameters. |
Details
This function considers a spatially non-structured prior for the spatial latent effects of the different diseases and introduces correlation between them using the M-model proposal of Botella-Rocamora et al. (2015).
Putting the latent effects for each disease in a matrix, the between disease dependence is introduced through the M matrix as \Theta=\Phi M
, where the columns of \Phi
follow an IID (independent and identically distributed) prior distribution (within-disease correlation).
A Wishart prior for the between covariance matrix M'M
is considered using the Bartlett decomposition.
The following arguments are required to be defined before calling the functions:
-
W
: binary adjacency matrix of the spatial areal units -
J
: number of diseases -
initial.values
: initial values defined for the cells of the M-matrix
Value
This is used internally by the INLA::inla.rgeneric.define()
function.
