Multi-source immunisation coverage model with Stan

Sampling from a single likelihood model using a random effect for data source.

ic_fit_single(X, region = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

X	Object of ic.df for analysis
region	Logical. Should region-specific models be generated? Default is TRUE.
verbose	Logical. Should messages be displayed? Default is TRUE.
...	Arguments passed to rstan::sampling (e.g. iter, chains).

Value

An object of class icfit for single region models, or iclist for multiple regions. The icfit object contains a stanfit object returned by rstan::sampling with the fitted object along with the posterior samples, data used in the model, and other attributes related to the fitting. An iclist object is an extension of a list containing multiple icfit objects.

Details

The current version of imcover does not allow for users to modify the prior distributions in the single likelihood model. Future versions of the package may enable this functionality. Lambda is assigned a prior distribution of normal(0, 1) and the sigma parameters are assigned half-Cauchy priors with a scale of 2.
