为什么带有rjags和R2Jags的拟合的模型输出不同？

Question

我正在努力将多层次的逻辑回归模型与群体水平的预测因子进行拟合。我正在通过R使用JAGS。当我将模型与runjags和R2Jags软件包拟合时，会出现不同的行为。

我已经尝试编写一个可复制的示例来显示问题。下面，我模拟来自二项式模型的数据，将数据索引到8个图和2个块中，然后拟合多级logistic回归以恢复下面代码中的成功概率（b1和b2）。滚动到底部以查看两个拟合的摘要。

我的问题是：

1. 为什么后两者的后代不同？我正在使用相同的数据，使用单个模型规格，并在每个模型之前设置随机数生成器。为什么后代的均值不同，为什么Rhat值如此不同？

这里是来自2个拟合的mu.alpha的迹线图。首先，从rjags适合：

第二，来自R2jags fit：

Answer 1

虽然该问题的一部分与mu.alpha的缺乏收敛性有关，另一个问题是两个软件包如何确定从后验分布中收集的样本数量。此外，在update之后的jags.model调用应为：

update(jm, n.iter = n.update)

而不是

update(jm, n.iterations = n.update)

对于rjags，您可以轻松指定适配步骤，更新步骤和迭代步骤的数量。观察samples.rjags，很显然每个链条运行了n.iterations次。相反，R2jags::jags将对后验进行多次采样，等于n.iter自变量减去n.burnin自变量。因此，如您所指定的，您有1）不将n.update步骤包括在R2jags::jags中，以及2）仅对后验采样了1500次，而从rjags中采样了3000次。]

如果您想进行类似的老化，并进行相同次数的采样，则可以运行：

samples.R2jags <-jags(
  data=data,
  inits=inits,
  parameters.to.save=parsToMonitor,
  model.file=textConnection(modelString),
  n.thin=n.thin,
  n.chains=length(inits),
  n.burnin=n.adapt + n.update ,
  n.iter=n.iterations +n.update + n.adapt,
  DIC=T
)
最后，R2jags默认情况下会加载glm模块，而rjags则不会。这可能会导致一些差异，因为使用的采样器可能会有所不同（至少在这种情况下，因为您适合使用glm）。您可以在调用rjags::load.module('glm')之前使用jags.model调用加载glm模块。

虽然这本身与问题无关，但我会避免在模型中的每个循环的for循环中使用i（如果循环之间的迭代次数不同，则使用不同的字母）：

modelString <- "model { 
  ## Priors

  # hyperpriors
  mu.alpha ~ dnorm(0, 0.0001)

  sigma.plot ~ dunif(0,100) 
  tau.plot <- 1 / sigma.plot^2

  sigma.block ~ dunif(0,100) 
  tau.block <- 1 / sigma.block^2

  # priors 
  for(i in 1:N.plots){     
    eps.plot[i]~dnorm(0,tau.plot)
  }

  for(j in 1:N.blocks){
    eps.block[j]~dnorm(0,tau.block)
  }

  # Likelihood
  for(k in 1:N){
    logit(p[k]) <- mu.alpha + eps.plot[plot[k]] + eps.block[block[k]]
    y[k] ~ dbin(p[k], n[k])

  }
}"
