# S4 method for pomp
rprior(object, params, ...)
an object of class ‘pomp’, or of a class that extends ‘pomp’.
This will typically be the output of pomp
, simulate
, or one of the pomp inference algorithms.

Each column is treated as an independent parameter set, in correspondence with the corresponding column of x
.
