rautologistic: Return a perfect sample from a centered autologistic model.

Description

Return a perfect sample from a centered autologistic model.

Usage

rautologistic(X, A, theta)

Arguments

X
the design matrix.
A
the adjacency matrix for the underlying graph, which is assumed to be undirected and free of loops and parallel edges.
theta
the vector of parameter values: $\theta = (\beta^\prime, \eta)^\prime$.

Value

  • A vector that is distributed exactly according to the centered autologistic model with the given design matrix and parameter values.

Details

This function implements a perfect sampler for the centered autologistic model. The sampler employs coupling from the past.
