insert_bugfile_chunk_noreg_meas function

Insert measurement likelihood (without regression) code chunks into .bug model file

insert_bugfile_chunk_noreg_meas(
  k_subclass,
  Mobs,
  prior,
  cause_list,
  use_measurements = "BrS",
  ppd = NULL,
  use_jags = FALSE
)

Arguments

• k_subclass: the number of subclasses for the slices that require conditional dependence modeling (only applicable to BrS data); its length is of the same value as the number of BrS slices.
• Mobs: measurement data in the form of data_nplcm
• prior: prior specification from model_options
• cause_list: a list of latent status names (crucial for building templates; see make_template())
• use_measurements: "BrS", or "SS"
• ppd: Default is NULL; set to TRUE for posterior predictive checking
• use_jags: Default is FALSE; set to TRUE if want to use JAGS for model fitting.

Returns

a long character string to be inserted into .bug model file as measurement likelihood
