postMui: Sample a value from the full conditional posterior of mu_i

Description

In our model the data are drawn from LogN(mu_i + log(c_ij), tau_i). The prior for mu_i is given as N(x_i^T %*% beta, rho). This function draws from the conditional posterior of mu_i.

Usage

postMui(yij, cij, taui, xib, rho)

Value

Numeric vector, repeated sampled value of length(yij)

Arguments

yij

Numeric vector, cycle lengths for a single individual

cij

Positive Integer vector, a sampled vector of length(yij) where the corresponding values in cij indicate a sampled number of TRUE cycles in each cycle length given by yij

taui

Numeric > 0, A sampled precision for the yijs

xib

Numeric, result of multiplying x_i^T %*% beta (single value, not vector)

rho

Numeric > 0, sampled prior precision of mu_i

Details

Additionally, note that in order to vectorize the remainder of the MCMC algorithm this function returns the sampled value repeated for length(yij)
