Stan parameterisation of the non-parametric family

The delay distribution parameters are the boundaries followed by the bin hazards, built from mu, the basis and the coefficients by the Stan function epidist_np_params(). The boundaries and the basis are written into the Stan code as functions returning them, see .np_stanvars().

Usage

# S3 method for class 'nonparametric'
epidist_family_param(family, ...)

Arguments

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 brms::brmsfamily(). Commonly used, such as brms::lognormal(), are also reexported as part of epidist.

...

Additional arguments passed to fn method.

Value

The family with a param element holding the Stan expression for the parameter array.
