Usage
evppi(parameters,inputs,he,n.blocks=NULL,n.seps=NULL,method=c("so","sal"))## S3 method for class 'default':
evppi(parameters,inputs,he,n.blocks=NULL,n.seps=NULL,method=c("so","sal"))
Arguments
parameters
A string (or vector of strings) containing the names of the parameters for which the EVPPI
should be computed. If more than one parameter is specified, the EVPPI will be computed for
each separately.
inputs
A matrix containing the simulations for all the parameters monitored by the call to
JAGS or BUGS. The matrix should have column names matching the names of the parameters
and the values in the vector parameter should match at least one of those values.
he
A bcea object (the result of the call to the function bcea). n.blocks
The number of blocks in which the matrix of inputs should be decomposed to perform the
calculations. The number of blocks must be such that the ratio of the number of MCMC
simulations to the number of blocks is an integer number. The choice of this para
n.seps
The number of points defining the separation in the matrix of inputs. The available
number of separation points is 1 (default) or 2. This parameter is only used if
method = "sal".
method
The method used to perform the EVPPI calculation. Options are Strong and Oakley ("so") or
Sadatsafavi et al ("sal").
