Abstract
An error was noted in R programming that caused a modest overestimation of variance component values associated with the oven and batch (block) random effects. This led to posterior predictive distributions for that were slightly too dispersed for the diameter and strength responses. This error came from inadvertently treating the posterior Stan scale parameter variables, SO_1, SO_2, SB_1, SBx2_1, SB_2, and SBx2_2 (shown in the Appendix), as variance (for normal) and variance-related (for student t) parameters, rather than as standard deviation (for normal) and standard-deviation-related (for student t) parameters. (Stan represents the scalevariation parameter for the normal distribution as standard deviation parameter, not a variance parameter. A similar result holds proportionately for the student t distribution in Stan.). The author has corrected this programing error and recomputed Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7 and Table 3. These are shown below. The other figures and tables were not affected. As a high-level validation, a separate, parallel calculation was done using Stan’s generated quantities feature to sample the posterior random effects directly from Stan. This produced results very similar to the original approach (but not the same due to Monte Carlo random variation).
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
