Perform model selection using leave one out cross validation of model objects

Source: R/joint_select.R
joint_select.Rd

This function performs leave one out cross validation of a list of model fits using functions in the loo package, as described in Vehtari, Gelman, and Gabry (2017) doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9696-4. Compare models fit using joint_model() or models fits using traditional_model(). See more examples in the Package Vignette.

Usage

joint_select(model_fits)

Arguments

model_fits

A list containing model fits of class stanfit.

Value

A matrix of delta elpd (expected log pointwise predictive density) between model fits. Function is performed using the loo package.

Note

Before model selection, this function makes the following check:

  • Input is a list of model fits of class 'stanfit'.

  • All models compared were fit wither either joint_model() or all with traditional_model().

If any of these checks fail, the function returns an error message.

Examples

# \donttest{
data(green_crab_data)

# Fit a model without estimating a gear scaling coefficient for traditional
# survey gear types.
# This model assumes all traditional survey methods have the same
# catchability.
# Count data is modeled using a poisson distribution.
