RJAGS simulation for multivariate regression
Consider the following Bayesian model of volume \(Y\)i by weekday status \(X\)i and temperature \(Z\)i:
- likelihood: \(Y\)i \(\sim N(m\)i, \(s^2)\) where \(m\)i \(= a + b X\)i \(+ c Z\)i .
- priors: \(a \sim N(0, 200^2)\), \(b \sim N(0, 200^2)\), \(c \sim N(0, 20^2)\), \(s \sim Unif(0, 200)\)
Your previous exploration of the relationship between volume
, weekday
, and hightemp
in the RailTrail
data provided some insight into this relationship. You will combine this with insight from the priors to develop a posterior model of this relationship using RJAGS. The RailTrail
data are in your work space.
