glm.logml.post: Log marginal likelihood of a GLM under a normal/half-normal prior

Description

Uses bridge sampling to estimate the logarithm of the marginal likelihood of a GLM under the normal/half-normal prior.

Usage

glm.logml.post(post.samples, bridge.args = NULL)

Value

The function returns a list with the following objects

model

"glm_post"

logml

the estimated logarithm of the marginal likelihood

bs

an object of class bridge or bridge_list containing the output from using bridgesampling::bridge_sampler() to compute the logarithm of the marginal likelihood of the normal/half-normal prior

Arguments

post.samples

output from glm.post() giving posterior samples of a GLM under the normal/half-normal prior, with an attribute called 'data' which includes the list of variables specified in the data block of the Stan program.

bridge.args

a list giving arguments (other than samples, log_posterior, data, lb, and ub) to pass onto bridgesampling::bridge_sampler().
