These functions are used to match the name of a parameter with its position in a parameter list
toParamIndexes(m, string) matchIndexes(m, string)
m |
a vector of names of the parameters of interest |
string |
a vector of parameter names |
a vector where element i contains the position of m[i] in string
if m contains integers and toParamIndexes is called, m will be returned, without a check of whether
or not the indices are valid
if m[i] is not an element of string, toParamIndexes will display an error, whereas matchIndexes will return NA
this function does not need to be called by the user; it exists so that the user can pass in a vector of parameter numbers or parameter names to various functions when specifying a subset of the parameters of the Gaussian process design matrix
for toParamIndexes, m can contain integers or characters, but cannot contain both
