y_i ~ Poisson(E_i exp(x_i'beta + u_i + v_i)) with an ICAR prior p(u) propto exp(-(tau_u/2) sum_{i~j}(u_i - u_j)^2) and v_i ~ N(0, 1/tau_v). The ICAR normalising rank is n - 1.

Usage

Bymfit(y, E, A, u, v, taus = 1, tauv = 1, X = NULL, beta = NULL)

Arguments

y

Observed counts per area.

E

Expected counts, strictly positive.

A

Neighbourhood adjacency, n x n.

u

Spatially structured effects.

v

Unstructured effects.

taus, tauv

Precisions of the two components.

X

Covariates, one row per area, or NULL.

beta

Covariate coefficients, or NULL.

Value

List with logpost, loglik, logpu, logpv, rr, fitted, usum, npair, n.
