prior: a list of prior distributions for the parameters specified by 'code'. Currently, dunif(z, min, max), dnorm(z, mean, sd), dbeta(z, shape1, shape2), dgamma(z, shape, rate) are available.
lower: a named list for specifying lower bounds of parameters
upper: a named list for specifying upper bounds of parameters
method: "nomcmc" requires package cubature
iteration: number of iteration of Markov chain Monte Carlo method
mcmc: number of iteration of Markov chain Monte Carlo method
rate: a thinning parameter. Only the first n^rate observation will be used for inference.
rcpp: Logical value. If rcpp = TRUE (default), Rcpp code will be performed. Otherwise, usual R code will be performed.
algorithm: If algorithm = "randomwalk" (default), the random-walk Metropolis algorithm will be performed. If algorithm = "MpCN", the Mixed preconditioned Crank-Nicolson algorithm will be performed.
center: A list of parameters used to center MpCN algorithm.
sd: A list for specifying the standard deviation of proposal distributions.
path: Logical value when method = "mcmc". If path=TRUE, then the sample path for each variable will be included in the MCMC object in the output.
rho: A parameter used for MpCN algorithm.
Details
Calculate the Bayes estimator for stochastic processes by using the quasi-likelihood function. The calculation is performed by the Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Currently, the Random-walk Metropolis algorithm and the Mixed preconditioned Crank-Nicolson algorithm is implemented.
