Degrees of Freedom Hyper-parameter

Use this option to specify a value for the degrees of freedom (df0) parameter in the scaled-inverse chi-squared prior for the residual variance.

The scaled-inverse chi-squared in BGLR has expected value S0/(df0-2).

Note: This value is only used for continuous (Gauassian) target variables.

Refer to the BGLR R Package documentation for further details.

To Specify the Degrees of Freedom Hyper-parameter:

Either type the desired value in the text field or move the slider to the right or to the left to specify a value.

Tip: To change the scale of the slider, right-click on the slider and select Rescale Slider from the pop-up menu. Change the upper and/or lower boundaries in the window that appears, to rescale the slider and click OK.
