ScanBMAcontrol: Control parameters for ScanBMA

Description

Assigns default control parameters for ScanBMA, and allows setting control parameter values.

Usage

ScanBMAcontrol( OR = 100, useg = TRUE, gCtrl = gControl(), thresProbne0 = 1 )

Arguments

OR

A number specifying the maximum ratio for excluding models in Occam's window.

useg

A logical value indicating whether to use Zellner's g-prior in model likelihood evaluation. If set to FALSE, ScanBMA will use BIC to approximate the likelihood.

gCtrl

A list of control variables affecting ScanBMA computations when using Zellner's g-prior in model likelihhod evaluation. A function called gControl is provided to facilitate this setting, and the default is gControl().

thresProbne0

Threshold (in percent) for the posterior probability that each variable is has a non-zero coefficient (in percent). Variables with posterior probability less than thresProbne0 are removed in future BMA iterations. The default value is 1 percent.

Value

A list of values for the named control parameters to be passed to ScanBMA.
