as.carAdjacency {nimble}

Convert CAR structural parameters to adjacency, weights, num format

Description

This will convert alternate representations of CAR process structure into (adj, weights, num) form required by dcar_normal.

Usage

as.carAdjacency(...)

Arguments

...

Either: a symmetric matrix of unnormalized weights, or two lists specifying adjacency indices and the corresponding unnormalized weights.

Details

Two alternate representations are handled:

A single matrix argument will be interpreted as a matrix of symmetric unnormalized weights.

Two lists will be interpreted as (the first) a list of numeric vectors specifying the adjacency (neighboring) indices of each CAR process component, and (the second) a list of numeric vectors giving the unnormalized weights for each of these neighboring relationships.
