shape.rate {SharedHT2}R Documentation

Inverse link for EB.Anova/general model

Description

Computes the shape parameter and rate matrix parameter given the coefficients from an EB.Anova/general, i.e. Wishart/Inverse Wishart model

Usage

  shape.rate(object)

Arguments

This function expects an object belonging to any one of the folloiwng classes: fit.n.data, EBfit, or numeric. If numeric then its length should be d*(d+1)/2 + 1 for some d

object see above

Value

An list containing 2 components:

shape a scalar equal to the shape parameter of the inverse Wishart distribution. The larger it is the more heteroscedastic the extra-gene variability
rate the d by d rate matrix parameter of the inverse Wishart distribution
