Create a Stan class VM object

Description

Internal function to create and compile a Stan model.

Usage

vm_stan(design = c("V -> Y", "V -> M -> Y", "V", "X -> V", "X -> V -> Y",
  "X -> M -> V"), useU = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

design

A character string indicating the type of model to be run. One of “V -> Y” for variability predicting an outcome, “V -> M -> Y” for mediation of variability on an outcome, “V” to take posterior samples of individual variability estimates alone.

useU
