Description

Transforms priors information to actual distributions.

Usage

Arguments

model

A stanreg, stanfit, brmsfit, blavaan, or MCMCglmm object.

n

Size of the simulated prior distributions.

Examples

# \donttest{
library(bayestestR)
if (require("rstanarm")) {
  model <- suppressWarnings(
    stan_glm(mpg ~ wt + am, data = mtcars, chains = 1, refresh = 0)
  )
  simulate_prior(model)
}
