is.continuous

This function checks whether a given vector represents a continuous variable. A continuous variable is numeric and has more than two unique values.

To improve estimation accuracy and stability in statistical modeling, catalytic prior distributions are employed, integrating observed data with synthetic data generated from a simpler model's predictive distribution. This approach enhances model robustness, stability, and flexibility in complex data scenarios. The catalytic prior distributions are introduced by 'Huang et al.' (2020, <doi:10.1073/pnas.1920913117>), Li and Huang (2023, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.01411>).
