In the following two subsections, we describe the hierarchical Bayesian model, and, in the last two subsections, we describe the implementation of the sampling from the posterior distribution.
An additional issue is that no implementation of the sampler has been made widely available.
The pre-publication history for this paper can be accessed here: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2334/14/87/prepub wouldulikeike to thank the colleagues from the Department of Epidemiology and Health Monitoring, Robert Koch-Institute, for providing valuable support with the design and implementation of the sampling frame.
The code for simulating the implementation of the sampling plan was originally written in R (http://www.r-project.org) but for this paper the code was translated into plain C for improved efficiency.
Our implementation of the sampling algorithm (see http://compbio.cs.princeton.edu/fcsampling for source code available under a GNU public license) also includes a variant that uses a Metropolis criterion to accept or reject moves.
Each one of these 10,000 implementations of the sampling plan is referred to individually as a resembling iteration.
In this paper, we describe the development and implementation of the multilevel sample design for the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, a study of children, adults, families, and neighborhoods in Los Angeles County.
Although the proposed IIR digital integrators involve the implementation of the fractional sample delay, this problem is easily solved by applying the well-documented design techniques of the FIR Lagrange and IIR allpass fractional delay filters.
Polygenic effects, s, and polygenic variance,, were sampled using a fully blocked implementation of the Gibbs sampler presented by García-Cortés and Sorensen [ 26] in the context of the Gaussian linear model.
Objectives: To examine whether the implementation of the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), which involves a substantial number of frequent repeated measurements, may artificially increase intensity of negative emotions and cognitive intrusion and affect temporal patterns of pre-competitive emotions.
