Logistic: Small Area Estimation using Hierarchical Bayesian under Logistic Distribution

Description

This function is implemented to variable of interest \((y)\) that assumed to be a Logistic Distribution

Usage

Logistic(
  formula,
  iter.update = 3,
  iter.mcmc = 10000,
  coef,
  var.coef,
  thin = 2,
  burn.in = 2000,
  tau.u = 1,
  data
)

Value

This function returns a list of the following objects:

Est

A vector with the values of Small Area mean Estimates using Hierarchical bayesian method

refVar

Estimated random effect variances

coefficient

A dataframe with the estimated model coefficient

plot

Trace, Dencity, Autocorrelation Function Plot of MCMC samples

Arguments

formula

Formula that describe the fitted model

iter.update

Number of updates with default 3

iter.mcmc

Number of total iterations per chain with default 10000

coef

a vector contains prior initial value of Coefficient of Regression Model for fixed effect with default vector of 0 with the length of the number of regression coefficients

var.coef

a vector contains prior initial value of variance of Coefficient of Regression Model with default vector of 1 with the length of the number of regression coefficients

thin

Thinning rate, must be a positive integer with default 2

burn.in

Number of iterations to discard at the beginning with default 2000

Prior initial value of inverse of Variance of area random effect with default 1

data

The data frame

Examples

# \donttest{
##Data Generation
set.seed(123)
m=30
x1=runif(m,0,1)
x2=runif(m,1,2)
x3=runif(m,2,3)
b0=b1=b2=b3=0.5
u=rnorm(m,0,1)
Mu=b0 + b1*x1+b2*x2+b3*x3+u
sig=sqrt(1/rgamma(m,1,1))
y=rlogis(m,Mu,sig)
vardir=1/3*pi*sig^2
dataLogistic=as.data.frame(cbind(y,x1,x2,x3,vardir))
dataLogisticNs=dataLogistic
dataLogisticNs$y[c(3,14,22,29,30)] <- NA
dataLogisticNs$vardir[c(3,14,22,29,30)] <- NA


##Compute Fitted Model
##y ~ x1 +x2 +x3


## For data without any nonsampled area
formula = y ~ x1 +x2 +x3
v = c(1,1,1,1)
c = c(0,0,0,0)


## Using parameter coef and var.coef
saeHBLogistic <- Logistic(formula,coef=c,var.coef=v,iter.update=10,data =dataLogistic)

saeHBLogistic$Est                                 #Small Area mean Estimates
saeHBLogistic$refVar                              #Random effect variance
saeHBLogistic$coefficient                         #coefficient
#Load Library 'coda' to execute the plot
#autocorr.plot(saeHBLogistic$plot[[3]]) is used to generate ACF Plot
#plot(saeHBLogistic$plot[[3]]) is used to generate Density and trace plot

## Do not using parameter coef and var.coef
saeHBLogistic <- Logistic(formula,data =dataLogistic)



## For data with nonsampled area use dataLogisticNs
