control.link

Control variables in control.* for use with inla(). The functions can be used to TAB-complete arguments, and returns a list of the default control arguments, unless overridden by specific input arguments.

control.link(
  model = "default",
  order = NULL,
  variant = NULL,
  hyper = NULL,
  quantile = NULL,
  a = 1,
  initial = NULL,
  fixed = NULL,
  prior = NULL,
  param = NULL
)

inla.set.control.link.default(...)

Arguments

model

The name of the link function/model

order

The order of the link function, where the interpretation of order is model-dependent.

variant

The variant of the link function, where the interpretation of variant is model-dependent.

hyper

Definition of the hyperparameter(s) for the link model chosen

quantile

The quantile for quantile link function

a

The parameter a in the LOGa link

initial

(OBSOLETE!) The initial value(s) for the hyperparameter(s)

fixed

(OBSOLETE!) A boolean variable if hyperparmater(s) is/are fixed or random

prior

(OBSOLETE!) The name of the prior distribution(s) for the hyperparmater(s)

param

(OBSOLETE!) The parameters for the prior distribution(s) for the hyperparmater(s)

...

Named arguments passed on to the main function

Details

The control.link-list is set within the corresponding control.family-list as the link is likelihood-family specific.
