Region-specific conflict effects — vrc_conflict

Extract posterior summaries of the conflict effect by region. This is most useful when you fit a model with partial pooling of conflict effects (random slopes by region), by setting conflict = "region" in vrc_mortality() and/or vrc_reporting().

The underlying Stan model always defines region-specific conflict effects (beta_conf_rg for mortality and gamma_conf_rg for reporting). When the corresponding feature is disabled (conflict = "fixed"), these region-specific effects are equal to the global effect for all regions.

Usage

vrc_conflict_effects(
  x,
  component = c("mortality", "reporting"),
  probs = c(0.1, 0.5, 0.9),
  draws = FALSE
)

Arguments

x: A vrcfit object.
component: Which model component to summarise: mortality (beta_conf_rg) or reporting (gamma_conf_rg).
probs: Quantiles to report.
draws: Logical. If FALSE (default), returns posterior summaries. If TRUE, returns a long data.frame of posterior draws.

Value

A data.frame. If draws = FALSE, columns include mean, sd and the requested quantiles. If draws = TRUE, columns include draw and value.
