Fitting Hierarchical Bayesian Space Time models

Description

hbstm is used to fit Hierarchical Bayesian Space Time models.

Usage

hbstm(Zt,K,newGrid,reglag,seas,spatlags,hyperpriors,initialvalues,
	nIter,nBurn,fit,plots,posterior,save,control)

Arguments

`Zt`	: MxT `"data.frame"` containing the data. The rows contains the "M" spatial points and the columns the "T" temporal observations.
`K`	: MxS `"matrix"` that relates the observed spatial points with the new Grid. S is the number of predicted spatial points.
`newGrid`	An Sx2 `"data.frame"` containing the "Longitude" and the "Latitude" of the new Grid.
`reglag`	A vector containing the temporal autoregressive lags of the model.
`seas`	A vector containing the seasonal coefficients of the model.
`spatlags`	A vector of length 4 containing the spatial lags of the model. See details for more information.
`hyperpriors`	An object of class `Hyperpriors` containing all the values of the model hyperpriors.
`initialvalues`	An object of class `Parameters` containing all the initial values of the model parameters.
`nIter`	Number of Gibbs Sampling iterations. Default value is 1000.
`nBurn`	Number of burn-in samples. This number of samples will be discarded before making any inference. Default value is the 20 percent of nIter.
`fit`	A `"logical"` indicating whether the HBSTM is fitted.
`plots`	A `"logical"` indicating whether the method shows the plots of the execution (The mse, Zt vs X*Yt and the ACF/PACF of the residuals.
`posterior`	A `"character"` indicating whether the function returns the 'mean' and 'sd' the fitted values of Yt or returns the 'median' with its 95 percent credibility intervals.
`save`	A `"character"` indicating if, for each iteration, the algorithm saves the estimation of certain parameters. See "Details"s for more information.
`control`	a list of control parameters. See "Details".

Details

Each position of the argument spatlags refers to the spatial lags of a specified direction. These four directions are "east-west", "north-south", "northwest-southeast" and "northeast-southwest".

The save argument is a "character" that can have any of the following options:

-"all": Save an object of class Parameters.

-"Mu": Save an object of class Mu.

-"Mt": Save an object of class Mt.

-"Xt": Save an object of class Xt.

The control argument is a list that can supply any of the following components:

-time: A "logical" indicating whether the method shows the estimated time of execution.

-timerem: A "logical" indicating whether the method shows the estimated remaining time of execution

-seed: The seed to use in the function "set.seed" and set it to fit the model.

Value

hbstm returns an object of class HBSTM
