SpatialEpi (version 1.2.3)

coeff: Compute log Bayes Factors

Description

Compute log Bayes Factors for each single zone based on observed and expected counts from n areas

Usage

coeff(y_vector, E_vector, a_values, b_values, cluster_list)

Arguments

y_vector

Vector of length n of cases

E_vector

Vector of length n of expected cases

a_values

Vector of length 2 of shape parameters (wide, narrow)

b_values

Vector of length 2 of rate parameters

cluster_list

Output of create_geo_objects: list of length n.zones listing, for each single zone, its component areas

Value

Vector of length n.zones with log Bayes Factor for each single zone.
