This function launches the shinybrms app.
launch_shinybrms(...)Arguments passed to shiny::runApp(). For example, in order to
force the shinybrms app to launch in the system's default web
browser (even if using RStudio), set argument launch.browser to TRUE.
TRUE (invisible).
The following global options are introduced by shinybrms:
shinybrms.allow_upd: Mainly for internal testing purposes. A single
logical value indicating whether updating a previous model fit using
brms:::update.brmsfit() is allowed. Defaults to TRUE.
shinybrms.prog_browser: The value for the global option browser to be
used for opening the Stan progress file (an HTML
file). Defaults to option browser (see base::options()). Note that
RStudio's default for option browser cannot be used for the Stan progress
file. Therefore, shinybrms automatically redefines RStudio's default
for option browser to fix this issue.
shinybrms.shinystan_browser: The value for the global option browser to
be used for opening the shinystan app. Defaults to option browser
(see base::options()). Note that RStudio's default for option browser
cannot be used for opening the shinystan app from within
shinybrms. Therefore, shinybrms automatically redefines
RStudio's default for option browser to fix this issue.
External global options used by shinybrms are:
shiny.maxRequestSize (see shiny::shinyOptions()): If not specified by
the user, then shinybrms uses a value of 50 * 1024^2 (corresponding
to 50 MB).
warn (see base::options()): Set and reset internally (necessary for
catching some warning messages).
browser (see base::options()): Set and reset internally (see above).
mc.cores (see base::options()): If option mc.cores is set, then the
advanced option "Cores" (in the shinybrms app) defaults to the value
of this option. If option mc.cores is not set, then the advanced option
"Cores" defaults to the value returned by parallel::detectCores().
brms.backend (see brms::brm()): If option brms.backend is set, then
the advanced option "Backend" (in the shinybrms app) defaults to the
value of this option. If option brms.backend is not set, then the advanced
option "Backend" defaults to "rstan".
Note that shinystan's global option shinystan.rstudio (see
shinystan::launch_shinystan()) may not be used here as shinystan is
called from an external R process where RStudio's browsers are not
available.
