Ahhhh ok. So I was looking in the wrong spot. That’s such a relief to finally have this figured out. Thank you!!! Small follow up question. I’m curious what you use to look at the coefficients of your models?
I ask because I would rather see what the distribution of
a_state[state] + sigma_a_county*a_county_offset[county]
is rather than a_county_offset for a given state/county or for all of the states/counties.
