Description

These functions are not to be called by ordinary users.

These are just sub-parts of `bayessurvreg2' function to make it more readable for the programmer.

Usage

bayessurvreg2.checkStore(store)
bayessurvreg2.priorInit(prior, init, design, mcmc.par,
                        prior2, init2, design2, mcmc.par2, doubly)
bayessurvreg2.priorBeta(prior.beta, init, design)
bayessurvreg2.priorb(prior.b, init, design)
bayessurvreg2.writeHeaders(dir, doubly, prior.init, store, design, design2)
