prior_options

rstanarm-deprecated

Arguments to 
deprecated <code>prior_options</code> function. The functionality provided 
by the now deprecated <code>prior_options</code> function has been replaced 
as follows:<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt><code>prior_scale_for_dispersion</code></dt><dd>Instead of using the <code>prior_scale_for_dispersion</code> argument to 
 <code>prior_options</code>, priors for these parameters can now be 
 specified directly when calling <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/stan_glm?package=rstanarm&version=2.15.3" data-mini-rdoc="rstanarm::stan_glm">stan_glm</a></code> (or
 <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/stan_glmer?package=rstanarm&version=2.15.3" data-mini-rdoc="rstanarm::stan_glmer">stan_glmer</a></code>, etc.) using the new <code>prior_aux</code>
 argument.</dd>
<dt><code>scaled</code></dt><dd>Instead of setting <code>prior_options(scaled=FALSE)</code>, internal rescaling
 is now toggled using the new <code>autoscale</code> arguments to
 <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/normal?package=rstanarm&version=2.15.3" data-mini-rdoc="rstanarm::normal">normal</a></code>, <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/student_t?package=rstanarm&version=2.15.3" data-mini-rdoc="rstanarm::student_t">student_t</a></code>, and <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/cauchy?package=rstanarm&version=2.15.3" data-mini-rdoc="rstanarm::cauchy">cauchy</a></code> 
 (the other prior distributions do not support 'autoscale').</dd>
<dt><code>min_prior_scale</code></dt><dd>No replacement. <code>min_prior_scale</code> (the minimum possible scale
 parameter value that be used for priors) is now fixed to <code>1e-12</code>.</dd>
</dl>

prior_scale_for_dispersion, min_prior_scale, scaled

These functions are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The 
Arguments section below provides details on how the functionliaty 
obtained via each of the arguments has been replaced.

Estimates previously compiled regression models using the 'rstan' package,
which provides the R interface to the Stan C++ library for Bayesian estimation.
Users specify models via the customary R syntax with a formula and data.frame
plus some additional arguments for priors.
