Code 10.12 Bernoulli model in R using JAGS, for accessing the relationship between bulge size and the fraction of red spirals

===================================================================================

require(R2jags)

​

# Data
path_to_data = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astrobayes/BMAD/master/data/Section_10p6/Red_spirals.csv'

​

# Read data
Red <- read.csv(path_to_data,header=T)

​

# Prepare data to JAGS
N <- nrow(Red)
x <- Red$fracdeV
y <- Red$type

​

# Construct data dictionary
X <- model.matrix(~ x,
                                data = Red)

​

K <- ncol(X)

​

logit_data <- list(Y = y,                          # response variable
                            X = X,                        # predictors
                            N = N,                        # sample size
                            K = K                         # number of columns
)

​

# Fit
LOGIT <-"model{
    # Diffuse normal priors
    for(i in 1:K){

​

    for (i in 1:N){
        Y[i] ~ dbern(p[i])
        logit(p[i]) <- eta[i]
        eta[i] <- inprod(beta[], X[i,])
    }
}"

​

# Define initial values
inits <- function () {
  list(beta = rnorm(ncol(X), 0, 0.1))
}

​

# Identify parameters

# Fit
LOGIT_fit <- jags(data = logit_data,
                               inits = inits,
                               parameters = params,
                               model = textConnection(LOGIT),

Output on screen:

​

Inference for Bugs model at "3", fit using jags,

  3 chains, each with 6000 iterations (first 3000 discarded)

  n.sims = 9000 iterations saved

 

                    mu.vect      sd.vect          2.5%      97.5%     Rhat        n.eff

beta[1]             -4.87          0.23          -5.20        -4.55      1.02         140

beta[2]              8.05          0.59           7.13          8.99      1.01         260

deviance     1911.16        44.72     1907.07     1915.70     1.00       9000

 

For each parameter, n.eff is a crude measure of effective sample size,

and Rhat is the potential scale reduction factor (at convergence, Rhat=1).

 

DIC info (using the rule, pD = var(deviance)/2)

pD = 1000.2 and DIC = 2911.4

DIC is an estimate of expected predictive error (lower deviance is better).
