normal,uniform: Auxiliary functions.

Description

Auxiliary functions.

Usage

uniform(var.name, lower, upper)
normal(var.name, mean, sd, lower, upper)

Arguments

var.name

The name of the variable whose prior distribution is being specified.

lower

The lower prior bound for var.name.

upper

The upper prior bound for var.name.

mean

The prior mean for var.name.

sd

The prior standard deviation for var.name.

Details

This functions are intended as user-friendly way of specifying the type of priors assumed for the calibration parameters with the function bayesfit.

For example, for a problem with calibration parameters named ("delta1", "shift") a possible prior could be prior=c(uniform(var.name="delta1", lower=0, upper=1), normal(var.name="shift", mean=2, sd=1, lower=0, upper=8))
