tdir_trans: Transforms Truncated Dirichlet Samples To Real Line

Description

Transforms samples from a truncated Dirichlet density to the real line using a stick-breaking algorithm. This algorithm is suitable for mixtures of equality constrained parameters, inequality constrained parameters, and free parameters

Usage

tdir_trans(
  theta_mat,
  boundaries,
  mult_equal,
  nr_mult_equal,
  nr_mult_free,
  hyp_direction
)

Value

matrix with transformed samples

Arguments

theta_mat

matrix with samples from truncated Dirichlet density

boundaries

list containing indices for upper and lower truncation boundaries

mult_equal

multiplicative elements for each lower and upper bound of each inequality constrained parameter.

nr_mult_equal

vector of multiplicative elements of collapsed parameters

nr_mult_free

vector of multiplicative elements of free parameters

hyp_direction

specifies whether the imposed inequality constrained imposes an increasing (i.e., 'smaller') or decreasing (i.e., 'larger') trend
