Overview of model structure and covariance parameter sampling algorithms for template code.
| Data distribution | Latent structure | Sampling of cov. parameters | Template code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | data augmentation | individually: θ ∊ {σ2,ρ} | A |
| joint: {θ,u}, θ ∊ {σ2,ρ} | E | ||
| Poisson/binomial | two processes | individually: θ ∊ {σ2,ρ} | B |
| individually: θ ∊ {σ2,ρ} | C | ||
| Poisson/binomial | one process | joint: {θ,u}, θ ∊ {σ2,ρ} | F |
| joint: {θ,u,λ}, θ ∊ {σ2,ρ} | G | ||
| joint: {θ,u,λ}, θ ∊ {ψ1, ψ2} | I | ||
