RaschSampler (version 0.8.0)

RSctr: Control Object

Description

The object of class RSctr represents the control parameter specification for the sampling function rsampler.

Arguments

Value

  • A legitimate RSctr object is a list with components
  • burn_inthe number of matrices to be sampled to come close to a stationary distribution.
  • n_effthe number of effective matrices, i.e., the number of matrices to be generated by the sampling function rsampler.
  • stepcontrols the number number of void matrices generated in the the burn in process and when effective matrices are generated (see note in rsctrl).
  • seedis the indicator for the seed of the random number generator. If the value of seed at equals zero, a seed is generated by the sampling function rsampler
  • tfixedTRUE or FALSE. tfixed = TRUE has no effect if the input matrix is not quadratic, i.e., all matrix elements are considered free (unrestricted). If the input matrix is quadratic, and tfixed = TRUE, the main diagonal of the matrix is considered as fixed.

Generation

This object is returned from function rsctrl.

Methods

This class has a method for the generic summary function.
