sample_multinomial function

Samples from a PMP object

This function samples from a specific model inside a PMP object.

sample_multinomial(PMP_object, shrink = TRUE, data, which = "MPM",
  discreteSurv = TRUE)

Arguments

• PMP_object: formula of the model including all potential variables
• shrink: should the coefficients be shrunken towards their prior mean?
• data: the (training) data frame with all the information
• which: which model should be sampled from? either an integer, 'MPM' or 'MAP'
• discreteSurv: Boolean variable telling us whether a 'simple' multinomial regression is looked for or if the goal is a discrete survival-time model for multiple modes of failure is needed.

Returns

returns an object with the model coefficients and supplementary information
