bayesianlm: Simple bayesian regression function.

Description

Take a prior mean and precision matrix for the regression solution and uses them to solve for the regression parameters. The Bayesian model, here, is on the multivariate distribution of the parameters.

Usage

bayesianlm(X, y, priorMean, priorPrecision, priorIntercept = 0, regweights,
  includeIntercept = F)

Arguments

X

data matrix

y

outcome

priorMean

expected parameters

priorPrecision

inverse covariance matrix of the parameters -

priorIntercept

inverse covariance matrix of the parameters -

regweights

weights on each y, a vector as in lm

includeIntercept

include the intercept in the model

Value

bayesian regression solution is output
