Description

This is a help function for GLMM_MCMC function. THIS FUNCTION IS NOT TO BE CALLED BY ORDINARY USERS.

Usage

GLMM_MCMCinit.b(init.b, prior.b, scale.b,
                id, dimb, LTb, naamLTb,
                I, ibMat, iEranefVec, iSDranefVec, number="")

Arguments

init.b

see argument init.b or init2.b of GLMM_MCMC function

prior.b

see argument prior.b of GLMM_MCMC function

scale.b

see argument scale.b of GLMM_MCMC function

id

dimb

dimension of random effects (random intercepts included)

LTb

length of lower triangle of matrix dimb x dimb

naamLTb

names (indices) for elements of a lower triangle of matrix dimb x dimb

I

number of subjects (grouped observations) in the original data (before removing NA's)

ibMat

matrix with initial values of random effects

iEranefVec

vector with initial values of overall means of random effects

iSDranefVec

vector with initial values of overall standard deviations of random effects

number

label of the initial values (used only in error messages)

Value
