| BMMpriors {bayesmix} | R Documentation |
This function enables a comfortable creation of
BMMpriors objects, which can be used for specifying the priors
of a BMMmodel.
BMMpriors(specification, y, eps = 10^-16)
specification |
named list including kind, parameter,
hierarchical and mod. |
y |
a numeric vector. |
eps |
a numeric value indicating the smallest value for flat priors. |
In specification kind can be used for specifying
if an "independent" or a "conditionallyconjugate"
prior shall be used. parameter can be a named list of values for
the prior variables or a function name (e.g., "priorsUncertain",
"priorsFish", "priorsRaftery"). hierarchical can be NULL
or "tau" if a hierarchical prior shall be taken for
tau. mod is a named list which provides the possibility
to override the values from parameter.
There is an object BMMpriors returned with components
name |
vector indicating which kind of prior is specified and if it is an hierarchical prior and if appropriate with respect to which variable. |
var |
list of variables in the prior and their specified values. |
