These are a set of internal utility functions.
They are not intended for general use.
Instead, they are intended to be called in circumstances
where the expected result is TRUE.
All of them are designed to try to give informative error
messages if the assertion is not met.
All of them result in a stop error if the assertion is not met.
.assertbrmsfit(object).assertgaussian(object)
.assertfamily(object)
.assertdpar(object, dpar)
.assertlink(object, dpar)
An invisible, logical TRUE if the assertion is met.
An (informative) error message if the assertion is not met.
A brms::brmsfit model object to be evaluated.
Required for .assertdpar() which checks this is valid.
Optional for .assertlink() which will use NULL if not
specified. If specified, this should be NULL or
a character string.
.assertbrmsfit: asserts that the object should be brms::brmsfit.
.assertgaussian: asserts that all random effects are Gaussian.
.assertfamily: asserts that the distribution (family) of the outcome is a currently supported family. Only applies when integrating out random effects.
.assertlink: asserts that the link function is a currently supported link function. Only applies when integrating out random effects.
