# Posterior predictive checking for the nested partially class models - frequent patterns in the BrS data. (for multiple folders) At each MCMC iteration, we generate a new data set based on the model and parameter values at that iteration. The sample size of the new data set equals that of the actual data set, i.e. the same number of cases and controls. ```r plot_check_common_pattern( DIR_list, slice_vec = rep(1, length(DIR_list)), n_pat = 10, dodge_val = 0.8 ) ``` ## Arguments - `DIR_list`: The list of directory paths, each storing a model output. - `slice_vec`: Default are 1s, for the first slice of BrS data. - `n_pat`: Number of the most common BrS measurement pattern among cases and controls. Default is 10. - `dodge_val`: Default is 0.8; For width of boxplots. ## Returns A figure of posterior predicted frequencies compared with the observed frequencies of the most common patterns for the BrS data. ## Examples ```r data(data_nplcm_noreg) cause_list <- LETTERS[1:6] J.BrS <- 6 model_options_no_reg <- list( likelihood = list( cause_list = cause_list, k_subclass = 2, Eti_formula = ~-1, # no covariate for the etiology regression FPR_formula = list( MBS1 = ~-1) # no covariate for the subclass weight regression ), use_measurements = c("BrS"), # use bronze-standard data only for model estimation. prior= list( Eti_prior = overall_uniform(1,cause_list), # Dirichlet(1,...,1) prior for the etiology.
