SimInf (version 11.1.0)

SimInf_pmcmc-class: Class SimInf_pmcmc

Description

Class SimInf_pmcmc

Slots

model

The SimInf_model object to estimate parameters in.

priors

A data.frame defining the prior distributions for the parameters. It contains four columns:

• parameter: The name of the parameter in the model.

• distribution: The prior distribution type. Valid values are "gamma", "lognormal", "normal", or "uniform".

• p1: The first hyperparameter:

  • "gamma": shape

  • "lognormal": meanlog (mean on the log scale)

  • "normal": mean

  • "uniform": lower bound

• p2: The second hyperparameter:

  • "gamma": rate

  • "lognormal": sdlog (standard deviation on the log scale)

  • "normal": sd (standard deviation)

  • "uniform": upper bound

target

Character vector ("gdata" or "ldata") that determines if the ABC-SMC method estimates parameters in model@gdata (global data) or in model@ldata (local data).

pars

An integer vector with the indices of the parameters in target that are being estimated.

n_particles

An integer with the number of particles (> 1) to use in the bootstrap particle filter.

data

A data.frame holding the time series data for the observation process.

chain

A matrix where each row contains logPost, logLik, logPrior, accept, and the parameters for each iteration.

covmat

A named numeric (npars x npars) matrix with covariances to use as initial proposal matrix.

adaptmix

A numeric scalar specifying the mixing proportion for the adaptive proposal distribution.

adaptive

An integer specifying when to start the adaptive update of the proposal distribution (iteration number).
