sim_train_test: Simulate in-sample and out-of-sample model performance

Description

Simulates in-sample and out-of-sample model performance for simple quap models, returning lppd in and out of sample, WAIC, LOOIC, and LOOCV.

Usage

sim_train_test(N = 20, k = 3, rho = c(0.15, -0.4), b_sigma = 100, 
    WAIC = FALSE, LOOCV=FALSE , LOOIC=FALSE , cv.cores=1 , 
    return_model=FALSE )

# old function from 1st edition sim.train.test( N=20 , k=3 , rho=c(0.15,-0.4) , b_sigma=100 , DIC=FALSE , WAIC=FALSE, devbar=FALSE , devbarout=FALSE )

Arguments

N

Number of cases in simulated data

k

Number of parameters in model to fit to data

rho

Vector of correlations between predictors and outcome, in simulated data

b_sigma

Standard deviation of beta-coefficient priors

DIC

If TRUE, returns DIC

WAIC

If TRUE, returns WAIC

LOOIC

If TRUE, returns LOOIC as produced by LOO

LOOCV

If TRUE, returns LOOCV as produced by cv_quap

devbar

If TRUE, returns the average deviance in-sample

devbarout

If TRUE, returns average deviance out-of-sample

cv.cores

Number or cores to use for cross-validation

return_model

If TRUE, includes fit model in result

Value

Details

This function simulates Gaussian data and then fits linear regression models to it, returning the lppd of the fit as produced by lppd (training, in-sample) and the deviance on a new sample, computed using the posterior from the training sample.
