Utility functions for the PC prior for a correlation matrix

Description

Functions to evaluate and sample from the PC prior for a correlation matrix.

The parameterisation of a correlation matrix of dimension p has dim parameters: theta which are in the interval -pi to pi. The alternative parameterisation is through the off-diagonal elements r of the correlation matrix R. The functions ⁠inla.pc.cormat.<A>2<B>⁠ convert between parameterisations ⁠<A>⁠ to parameterisations ⁠<B>⁠, where both ⁠<A>⁠ and ⁠<B>⁠ are one of theta, r and R, and p and dim.

Usage

inla.pc.cormat.dim2p(dim)

inla.pc.cormat.p2dim(p)

inla.pc.cormat.theta2R(theta)

inla.pc.cormat.R2theta(R)

inla.pc.cormat.r2R(r)

inla.pc.cormat.R2r(R)

inla.pc.cormat.r2theta(r)

inla.pc.cormat.theta2r(theta)

inla.pc.cormat.permute(R)

inla.pc.cormat.rtheta(n = 1, p, lambda = 1)

inla.pc.cormat.dtheta(theta, lambda = 1, log = FALSE)

Arguments

dim

The dimension of theta, the parameterisatin of the correlation matrix

p

The dimension the correlation matrix

theta

A vector of parameters for the correlation matrix

R

A correlation matrix

r

The off diagonal elements of a correlation matrix

n

Number of observations

lambda

The rate parameter in the prior

log

Logical. Return the density in natural or log-scale.

Value

inla.pc.cormat.rtheta generate samples from the prior, returning a matrix where each row is a sample of theta. inla.pc.cormat.dtheta evaluates the density of theta. inla.pc.cormat.permute randomly permutes a correlation matrix, which is useful if an exchangable sample of a correlation matrix is required.

Examples


  p = 4
  print(paste("theta has length", inla.pc.cormat.p2dim(p)))
  theta = inla.pc.cormat.rtheta(n=1, p=4, lambda = 1)
  print("sample theta:")
  print(theta)
  print(paste("log.dens", inla.pc.cormat.dtheta(theta, log=TRUE)))
  print("r:")
  r = inla.pc.cormat.theta2r(theta)
  print(r)
  print("A sample from the non-exchangable prior, R:")
  R = inla.pc.cormat.r2R(r)
  print(R)
  print("A sample from the exchangable prior, R:")
  R = inla.pc.cormat.permute(R)
  print(R)
