update_h_invGamma: Update the parameter $theta$ (with FC of form h) using an inverse gamma approximation to the FC as proposal

Description

Update the parameter $theta$ (with FC of form h) using an inverse gamma approximation to the FC as proposal

Usage

update_h_invGamma(theta, argA, argC, a, b)

Arguments

argA

argument a (in parts) of the function h (e.g. n*phi for theta=mu)

argC

argument c of the function h (e.g. sum(mui)*phi for theta=mu)

a

shape parameter of the gamma prior for $theta$

b

rate parameter of the gamma prior for $theta$

Value

• updated parameter $theta$
