```{r, echo = FALSE}

# )
```
A user-friendly interface for doing joint Bayesian latent class and
regression analysis with binary and continuous outcomes.
Simply specify the regression model and number of classes and lcra
predicts class membership for each observation and accounts for
uncertainty in class membership in the estimation of the regression
parameters.
## Why use this package?
This is the only package available for joint latent class and regression
analysis. Other packages use a sequential procedure, where latent
classes are determined prior to fitting the usual regression model. The
only Bayesian alternative will require you to program the model by hand,
which can be time consuming.
## Overview
This `R` package provides a user-friendly interface for fitting Bayesian
joint latent class and regression models. Using the standard R syntax,
the user can specify the form of the regression model and the desired
number of latent classes.
The technical details of the model implemented here are described in
Elliott, Michael R., Zhao, Zhangchen, Mukherjee, Bhramar, Kanaya, Alka,
Needham, Belinda L., "Methods to account for uncertainty in latent class
assignments when using latent classes as predictors in regression
models, with application to acculturation strategy measures" (2020) In
press at Epidemiology.
## Installation
JAGS is the new default Gibbs sampler for the package. Install JAGS
here: [JAGS Download](https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/).
This package uses the R interface for JAGS and WinBUGS. The package
`R2WinBUGS` in turn depends on the standalone Windows program `WinBUGS`,
and `rjags` depends on the standalone program JAGS. Follow this link:
[JAGS Download](https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/) for JAGS download and
installation instructions.
Once you've chosen between JAGS or WinBUGS, open R and run:
If the devtools package is not yet installed, install it first:
```{r, eval=FALSE}
install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)
```
```{r, eval = FALSE}
# install lcra from Github:
install_github('umich-biostatistics/lcra')
library(lcra)
```
## Example usage
### Quick example:
```{r, eval = FALSE}
inits = list(list(theta = c(0.33, 0.33, 0.34), beta = rep(0, length = 3),
alpha = rep(0, length = 2), tau = 0.5, true = rep(1, length = nrow(express))))
fit = lcra(formula = y ~ x1 + x2, family = "gaussian", data = express,
nclasses = 3, inits = inits, manifest = paste0("Z", 1:5),
n.chains = 1, n.iter = 500)
# use coda to analyze samples
library(coda)
summary(fit)
plot(fit)
```
NOTE: WinBUGS throws an error on Windows machines if you are not running
as administrator. The error reads: Error in file(con, "wb") : cannot
open the connection.
Ignore the error. Once WinBUGS is finished drawing samples, follow the
promp and return to R.
### Model
The LCRA model is as follows: 
The following priors are the default and cannot be altered by the user:
 
Please note also that the reference category for latent classes in the
outcome model output is always the Jth latent class in the output, and
the bugs output is defined by the Latin equivalent of the model
parameters (beta, alpha, tau, pi, theta). Also, the bugs output includes
the variable true, which corresponds to the MCMC draws of C_i, i =
1,...,n, as well as the MCMC draws of the deviance (DIC) statistic.
Finally the bugs output for pi is stored in a three dimensional array
corresponding to (class, variable, category), where category is indexed
by 1 through maximum K_l; for variables where the number of categories
is less than maximum K_l, these cells will be set to NA. The parameters
outputed by the lcra function currently are not user definable.
### More examples:
The main function for the joint model is `lcra()`. Use `?lcra` for the R
help file.
Here is an example analysis on simulated data with continuous and
discrete outcomes:
```{r, eval = FALSE}

fit = lcra(formula = y ~ x1 + x2, family = "gaussian", data = express,
nclasses = 3, inits = inits, manifest = paste0("Z", 1:5),
n.chains = 1, n.iter = 500)
