This function is used within epidist() to create a model specific custom
brms family object. This custom family is passed to brms. It is unlikely
that as a user you will need this function, but we export it nonetheless to
be transparent about what happens inside of a call to epidist().
Usage
epidist_family(data, family = lognormal(), ...)Arguments
- data
An object with class corresponding to an implemented model.
- family
A description of the response distribution and link function to be used in the model. Every family function has a link argument allowing users to specify the link function to be applied on the response variable. If not specified, default links are used. For details of all supported families see
