pois_bugs function

Bugs code for Poisson response

Bugs model for count response variable $X \sim \mathcal{Pois}(\lambda)$.

pois_bugs(nodename, nodesintercept, parentnames, parentcoefs)

pois_bugsGroup(nodename, nodesintercept, parentnames, parentcoefs, sigma_alpha)

Arguments

• nodename: character string of response variable name.
• nodesintercept: overall mean of response. Parameter from fixed-effects intercept.
• parentnames: single character string (for one parent) or vector of characters (for multiple parent nodes) with parent node (predictor variables) names.
• parentcoefs: overall slope for each predictor (parent node) variable (fixed-effects).
• sigma_alpha: between-group variance. Parameter from random-effects intercept.

Returns

Bugs model returned as stdout.

Functions

• pois_bugsGroup(): Bugs code for Poisson response with varying intercept

Examples

pois_bugs(nodename = "a",
          parentnames = c("b", "c"),
          nodesintercept = c(0.318077),
          parentcoefs = list("b"=c(b=0.3059395),
                             "c"=c(c=0.5555)))
