Mean.blrm

Function Generator for Mean Y for blrm()

Description

Creates a function to turn a posterior summarized linear predictor lp (e.g. using posterior mean of intercepts and slopes) computed at the reference intercept into e.g. an estimate of mean Y using the posterior mean of all the intercept. lptau must be provided when call the created function if the model is a partial proportional odds model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'blrm'
Mean(object, codes = FALSE, posterior.summary = c("mean", "median"), ...)

Arguments

`object`	a `blrm()` fit
`codes`	if `TRUE`, use the integer codes 1,2,…,k for the k-level response in computing the predicted mean response.
`posterior.summary`	defaults to posterior mean; may also specify `"median"`. Must be consistent with the summary used when creating `lp`.
`...`	ignored

Value

an R function
