Get Random Structure for Model

Description

Constructs the random structure for HMSC models based on age and/or space.

Usage

get_random_structure_for_model(
  data = NULL,
  type = c("age", "space"),
  min_knots_distance = NULL
)

Arguments

data	A list containing data for model fitting from the function [check_and_prepare_data_for_fit()].
type	Character vector specifying random effect types ("age", "space").
min_knots_distance	Minimum distance between knots for spatial random effect (optional). Only used if "space" is in ‘type’.

Value

A list describing the random structure for the model.
