The hbmfit S3 Class

Source: R/hbmfit-class.R
hbmfit-class.Rd

hbmfit is the result class returned by all model-fitting functions in hbsaems: hbm, hbm_betalogitnorm, hbm_binlogitnorm, and hbm_lnln. It wraps a brmsfit object together with the original data and fitting metadata.

Slots

model

A brmsfit (or brmsfit_multiple) object.

missing_method

Character scalar – the missing-data strategy used ("deleted", "model", "multiple") or NULL when the data were complete.

data

The original data.frame passed to the fitting function before any row deletion or imputation. Downstream functions (e.g.\ sae_predict) need all rows – including those with missing \(Y\) – to produce area-level predictions.

handle_missing

Backwards-compatibility alias for missing_method; identical value.
