postLambdai: Compute random draw from full conditional posterior for lambda_i in Li algorithm.

Description

This function calculates a random draw from the full conditional posterior distribution for lambda_i in the Li algorithm, given the observed values y_ij, the indicators s_ij, and the prior hyperparameters priorK and priorG.

Usage

postLambdai(yij, sij, priorK, priorG)

Value

A random draw from the posterior distribution of lambda_i.

Arguments

yij

Vector of observed values for individual i.

sij

Vector of cycle skip indicators for individual i.

priorK

Prior hyperparameter kappa.

priorG

Prior hyperparameter gamma.
