Run (tidy) Ecological Inference Estimation

Usage

ei_est(
  data,
  t,
  x,
  n,
  id = seq_len(nrow(data)),
  Zb = NULL,
  Zw = NULL,
  erho = 0.5,
  esigma = 0.5,
  ebeta = 0.5,
  ealphab = NA,
  ealphaw = NA,
  truth = NA
)

Arguments

data: data where `x`, `t`, `total`, `Zb`, `Zw` are found
t: <[`data-masking`][dplyr_data_masking]> column of turnout in data
x: <[`data-masking`][dplyr_data_masking]> column of subgroup proportions in data
n: <[`data-masking`][dplyr_data_masking]> column of total in data
id: <[`data-masking`][dplyr_data_masking]> column of unique ids in data
Zb: <[`data-masking`][dplyr_tidy_select]> columns of covariates in data
Zw: <[`data-masking`][dplyr_tidy_select]> columns of covariates in data
erho: The standard deviation of the normal prior on \(\phi_5\) for the correlation. Numeric vector, used one at a time, in order. Default `c(.5, 3, 5)`.
esigma: The standard deviation of an underlying normal distribution, from which a half normal is constructed as a prior for both \(\breve{\sigma}_b\) and \(\breve{\sigma}_w\). Default \(= 0.5\)
ebeta: Standard deviation of the "flat normal" prior on \(\breve{B}^b\) and \(\breve{B}^w\). The flat normal prior is uniform within the unit square and dropping outside the square according to the normal distribution. Set to zero for no prior. Setting to positive values probabilistically keeps the estimated mode within the unit square. Default\(=0.5\)
ealphab: cols(Zb) x 2 matrix of means (in the first column) and standard deviations (in the second) of an independent normal prior distribution on elements of \(\alpha^b\). If you specify Zb, you should probably specify a prior, at least with mean zero and some variance (default is no prior). (See Equation 9.2, page 170, to interpret \(\alpha^b\)).
ealphaw: cols(Zw) x 2 matrix of means (in the first column) and standard deviations (in the second) of an independent normal prior distribution on elements of \(\alpha^w\). If you specify Zw, you should probably specify a prior, at least with mean zero and some variance (default is no prior). (See Equation 9.2, page 170, to interpret \(\alpha^w\)).
truth: A length(t) x 2 matrix of the true values of the quantities of interest.
