Hello,
I've been modeling a variable with a lognormal distribution by using
family="lognormal".
When I do this, I end up with a model where the posterior standard deviations for each data point, a.k.a.
model$summary.fitted.values$sd
Are all incredibly small, for example
- 0.000421568997572139
- 0.000421568997572139
- 0.000746665312948463
- 0.000746665312948463
I thought doing exp(model$summary.fitted.values$sd) would give the correct values, but then the values are all just above 1, such as
- 1.00042165787027
- 1.00042165787027
- 1.00074694413689
- 1.00074694413689
I've tried many different priors but I always see the above effect with standard deviations.
Am I doing something incorrect? I would expect the standard deviations for my data to be much bigger, and certainly not all similar. If it matters, I am using a model with 2 fixed effects and ~8 random effects.
Thanks,
Kyle
