Extracts all sampled variables whose names start with prior_shrinkage_factors_, including those generated by horseshoe priors on survival and longitudinal coefficients. These are prior shrinkage factors, distinct from the tumour-shrinkage rate in a longitudinal model.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'JointModelSamples'
shrinkage(object, ...)

Arguments

object

(JointModelSamples) the object to extract shrinkage factors from.

...

not used.

Value

A posterior draws object containing the shrinkage factors, with iterations, chains, and variable order preserved. It can be summarised with posterior::summarise_draws().

Details

Survival coefficient factors retain their covariate names. Longitudinal coefficient factors are labelled longitudinal.<predictor>:<covariate>, for example longitudinal.mu_g:age or longitudinal.omega_s:armB. Their covariate names are obtained from covariates.LongitudinalModel(). Factors without a known covariate mapping retain their Stan variable names.

Survival-only and longitudinal-only fits are supported. An error is raised if no prior shrinkage factors were sampled or if sampled indices cannot be matched to a known design matrix.
