sim.NormalIG.Hierarchical.config: Create a configuration object for the sim.NormalIG.Hierarchical function

Description

This function creates a configuration object that sets the parameters for the Hierarchical Inverse-Gamma simulation model. The configuration object is an to the sim.NormalIG.Hierarchical function.

Usage

sim.NormalIG.Hierarchical.config(
  nR = 5,
  nC = 100,
  modalityID = c("testA", "testA*"),
  C_dist = "normal",
  mu = 0,
  tau_A = 0,
  tau_B = 0,
  alpha_R = 10,
  beta_R = 1,
  sigma_C = 1,
  a_C = 0.8,
  b_C = 3,
  sigma_tauC = 1,
  alpha_tauR = 10,
  beta_tauR = 1,
  C_scale = 1,
  RC_scale = 1,
  tauC_scale = 1,
  tauRCE_scale = 1
)

Value

config [list] of input parameters for sim.NormalIG.Hierarchical.

Arguments

alpha_tauR: [num] shape parameter for modality-reader. Default alpha_tauR = 10
beta_tauR: [num] scale parameter for modality-reader. Default beta_tauR = 1
C_scale: [num] weight for the case factor. Default C_scale = 1
RC_scale: [num] weight for the reader-case interaction term. Default RC_scale = 1
tauC_scale: [num] weight for the modality-case term. Default tauC_scale = 1
tauRCE_scale: [num] weight for the modality-reader-case-replicate interaction term. Default tauRCE_scale = 1

Details

If no arguments, this function returns a default simulation configuration for the sim.NormalIG.Hierarchical function.
