estimate_lambda: Estimate lambda values
Description
Internal function to estimate values of lambda needed for MCMC_simulation and prior probability of k clusters/anti-clusters for k=0,...,JUsage
estimate_lambda(n.sim, J, prior.z, overlap, pi0)
Arguments
n.sim
number of importance sampling iterations
J
maximum number of clusters/anti-clusters to consider
prior.z
prior probability of each single zone
overlap
output of create_geo_objects: list with two elements: presence which lists for each area all the single zones it is present in and cluster_list for each single zone its pi0
prior probability of no clusters
Value
- estimates of lambda and prior.j
