insert_bugfile_chunk_noreg_meas

Insert measurement likelihood (without regression) code chunks into .bug model file

Provides functions to specify, fit and visualize
nested partially-latent class models (
Wu, Deloria-Knoll, Hammitt, and Zeger (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12101>;
Wu, Deloria-Knoll, and Zeger (2017) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxw037>;
Wu and Chen (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8804>) for
inference of population disease etiology and individual diagnosis. In the motivating
Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) study, because both quantities
of interest sum to one hundred percent, the PERCH scientists frequently refer to
them as population etiology pie and individual etiology pie, hence the name of the package.

insert_bugfile_chunk_noreg_meas function

<dl><dt>k_subclass</dt>
<dd>the number of subclasses for the slices that require
conditional dependence modeling (only applicable to BrS data); its length is
of the same value as the number of BrS slices.</dd>
<dt>Mobs</dt>
<dd>measurement data in the form of <code>data_nplcm</code></dd>
<dt>prior</dt>
<dd>prior specification from <code>model_options</code></dd>
<dt>cause_list</dt>
<dd>a list of latent status names (crucial for building templates;
see <code>make_template()</code>)</dd>
<dt>use_measurements</dt>
<dd>"BrS", or "SS"</dd>
<dt>ppd</dt>
<dd>Default is NULL; set to TRUE for posterior predictive checking</dd>
<dt>use_jags</dt>
<dd>Default is FALSE; set to TRUE if want to use JAGS for model fitting.</dd></dl>
