findindexM


<code>findindexM</code> finds indexs of modelterms to be processed in selectterms if the user wishes to compare Bayes factors of models with two vs. model with three indicators or models with three vs. models with four indicators. The function is internally called in the code <code>bdynsys</code>bayesfacselectterms. It returns internally the indexes of modelterms to <code>bdynsys</code>bayesfacselectterms.

The package bdynsys for panel/longitudinal data combines methods to model
changes in up to four indicators over times as a function of the indicators
themselves and up to three predictors using ordinary differential equations
(ODEs) with polynomial terms that allow to model complex and nonlinear
effects. A Bayesian model selection approach is implemented. The package
provides also visualisation tools to plot phase portraits of the dynamic
system, showing the complex co-evolution of two indicators over time with the
possibility to highlight trajectories for specified entities (e.g. countries,
individuals). Furthermore the visualisation tools allow for making
predictions of the trajectories of specified entities with respect to the
indicators.
