Mock Fitter for Testing (Internal)

Source: R/fitter.R
MockFitter.Rd

A simple implementation of the Fitter class for testing purposes only. This fitter returns predetermined values and does not perform actual Bayesian inference.

WARNING: MockFitter ignores the fit_spec model specification. Do NOT use for scientific simulation studies comparing different models. For real inference, use BrmsFitter or create a custom fitter.

For a lightweight no-Stan alternative, see the LinearFitter example in vignette("custom-fitters").

Usage

MockFitter(
  name = "mock",
  supports_predictions = TRUE,
  supports_log_lik = TRUE,
  supports_loo = TRUE,
  supports_epred = FALSE,
  n_draws = 100L,
  n_chains = 4L
)

Arguments

name

Character string identifying the fitter

supports_predictions

Logical; whether predictions are supported

supports_log_lik

Logical; whether log-likelihood is supported

supports_loo

Logical; whether LOO-CV is supported

n_draws

Integer; number of posterior draws to simulate

n_chains

Integer; number of chains to simulate

Value

An S7 class object representing a MockFitter
