get.beta.ising {icmm}R Documentation

Obtain a regression coefficient when assuming Ising prior (with structured predictors).

Description

Given a sufficient statistic for a regression coefficient, this function estimates a coefficient when assuming the Ising model to incorporate the prior of structured predictors.

Usage

get.beta.ising(SS, wpost, alpha, scaledfactor)

Arguments

SS

a sufficient statistic for a regression coefficient.

wpost

a posterior probability of mixing weight.

alpha

a scalar value for hyperparameter alpha.

scaledfactor

a scalar value for multiplicative factor.

Details

Given a posterior probability of mixing weight, empirical Bayes thresholding is employed to obtain a posterior median of a regression coefficient.

Value

a scalar value of regression coefficient.
