Set computational options for the sampling algorithms
Description
Set computational options for the sampling algorithms
Usage
poisson_control(nb.shape = 100)
Arguments
nb.shape |
shape parameter of the negative binomial distribution used internally to approximate the Poisson distribution. This should be set to a relatively large value (default is 100), corresponding to negligible overdispersion, to obtain a good approximation to the Poisson sampling distribution. However, note that very large values may cause slow MCMC exploration of the posterior distribution. |
Value
A list with computational options for the sampling algorithm.
