apollo (version 0.2.6)

apollo_unconditionals: Returns draws for random parameters in a latent class model model

Description

Returns draws (unconditionals) for random parameters in model, including interactions with deterministic covariates

Usage

apollo_unconditionals(model, apollo_probabilities, apollo_inputs)

Arguments

model

Model object. Estimated model object as returned by function apollo_estimate.

apollo_probabilities

Function. Returns probabilities of the model to be estimated. Must receive three arguments:

  • apollo_beta: Named numeric vector. Names and values of model parameters.

  • apollo_inputs: List containing options of the model. See apollo_validateInputs.

  • functionality: Character. Can be either "estimate" (default), "prediction", "validate", "conditionals", "zero_LL", "shares_LL", or "raw".

apollo_inputs

List grouping most common inputs. Created by function apollo_validateInputs.

Value

List of object, one per random coefficient. With inter-individual draws only, this will be a matrix, with one row per individual, and one column per draw. With intra-individual draws, this will be a three-dimensional array, with one row per observation, inter-individual draws in the second dimension, and intra-individual draws in the third dimension.
