Fit a disaggregation model — fit

This function is called by the fit_fit module and calls disaggregation::disag_model() with the only difference being that covariates are wrapped to enable asynchronous operation and any errors are returned as a character

fit_fit(data, priors, family, link, iterations, field, iid, async = FALSE)

Arguments

data: disag_data. Object returned by prepare_data function that contains all the necessary objects for the model fitting
priors: list. List of prior values
family: character. Model family to fit
link: character. Link function to use
iterations: numeric. Number of iterations
field: logical. Whether to include a spatial field
iid: logical. Whether to include an iid effect
async: logical. Whether or not the function is being used asynchronously

Value

a list of class disag_model or a character string if an error occurs
