idx {INLA} | R Documentation

## Convert indexes

### Description

Convert indexes given by to triplet '(idx, group, replicate)' to the (one-dimensional) index used in the grouped and replicated model

### Usage

    inla.idx(idx, n = max(idx),
             group = rep(1, length(idx)), ngroup = max(group),
             replicate = rep(1, length(idx)),  nrep = max(replicate))

### Arguments

`idx` | The index within the basic model. (Legal values from ‘1’ to ‘n’.)
`n` | The length ‘n’ of the basic model.
`group` | The index within group. (Legal values from ‘1’ to ‘ngroup’.)
`ngroup` | Number of groups.
`replicate` | The index within replication. (Legal values from ‘1’ to ‘nrep’.)
`nrep` | Number of replications.

### Value

`inla.idx` returns indexes in the range ‘1’ to ‘n*ngroup*nrep’ representing where the triplet ‘(idx,group,replicate)’ is stored internally in the full grouped and replicated model.
