LongitudinalRandomSlope

Source: R/LongitudinalRandomSlope.R
LongitudinalRandomSlope-class.Rd

This class extends the general LongitudinalModel class for using the random slope linear model for the longitudinal outcome.

Usage 

LongitudinalRandomSlope(
  intercept = prior_normal(30, 10),
  slope_mu = prior_normal(1, 3),
  slope_sigma = prior_lognormal(0, 1.5),
  sigma = prior_lognormal(0, 1.5),
  scaled_variance = FALSE
)

Arguments

intercept

(Prior) for the intercept.

slope_mu

(Prior) for the population slope slope_mu (one per arm).

slope_sigma

(Prior) for the random slope standard deviation slope_sigma (one per arm).

sigma

(Prior) for the variance of the longitudinal values sigma.

scaled_variance

(logical) whether the variance should be scaled by the expected value, corresponding to a multiplicative model. As a default, the variance is not scaled by the expected value, corresponding to an additive model. (See the "Statistical Specifications" vignette for more details.)
