Get fitted object from MCMC results

Usage

get_start_vals(
  start_vals,
  Y,
  family,
  xP,
  rvar,
  cvar,
  R,
  odmax = NULL,
  bip = FALSE
)

Arguments

start_vals: List object that is null or contains starting values
Y: dependent variable in array format
family: character vector (e.g. 'bin', 'nrm') specifying family type
xP: number of exogenous covariates
rvar: logical indicating whether to include sender random effects
cvar: logical indicating whether to include receiver random effects
R: Number of dimensions for multiplicative effects
odmax: vector of maximum ranks for cbin/frn families (optional)
bip: logical; TRUE for a bipartite (rectangular) panel, in which case the Poisson start values keep the diagonal of a square matrix as a real cell

Value

List of starting values for MCMC

Details

In addition to the slots listed below, any of the dynamic hyperparameter scalars rho_uv, sigma_uv, rho_ab, and sigma_ab present in start_vals (for example from als_start_vals) are passed through so a dynamic MCMC run can warm-start them.
