get.cutoffs: Draw thresholds for the accept-reject stage of the BD
sampling algorithm.
Description
Returns a vector of log(u), where u is the threshold
to determine if a proposal draw should be accepted as a draw from
the target posterior distribution.
Usage
get.cutoffs(log.phi, n.draws)
Arguments
log.phi
Vector of log.phi from the proposal draws. All must
be non-positive.
n.draws
an integer. number of draws to be taken from the
target posterior.
Value
a numeric vector for v = -log.u (the thresholds for the
accept-reject stage).
Details
For use in conjunction with the Braun and Damien (2012)
Generalized Direct Sampling algorithm. This is usually not called
directly (and, thus, it is not exported), since it is called from
the sample.GDS function.
