MCMCglmm Bivariate model and prior
Dear MCMCglmm users, My questions are simple and I hope you can answer me. I wish to run a bivariate model with MCMCglmm package. But one response variable is a continuous one (family = gaussian) and the other is a binary one (family = ordinal). I have sought a way to parameterize the model (in the archives of this list too), I tried some solution that I thought, but in vain. I have to fix to 1 the residual variance for the binary variable and leave it free for the continuous variable. Is it possible in MCMCglmm ? And if yes : how do I parameterize the priors ? Thanks for your help. Gr?gory DANIEL PhD Student - LBBE University of Lyon 1 69100 Villeurbanne - FRANCE
