growcurves (version 0.2.4.1)
Bayesian Semi and Nonparametric Growth Curve Models that
Additionally Include Multiple Membership Random Effects
Description
Employs a non-parametric formulation for by-subject random effect
parameters to borrow strength over a constrained number of repeated
measurement waves in a fashion that permits multiple effects per subject.
One class of models employs a Dirichlet process (DP) prior for the subject
random effects and includes an additional set of random effects that
utilize a different grouping factor and are mapped back to clients through
a multiple membership weight matrix; e.g. treatment(s) exposure or dosage.
A second class of models employs a dependent DP (DDP) prior for the subject
random effects that directly incorporates the multiple membership pattern.
