draw_beta_mixture_nsamples: Draw samples from a mixture of beta distributions

Description

Draws samples from a mixture of beta distributions, representing pooled weights on the informative component of a robust MAP prior, as elicited from experts via the roulette method.

Usage

draw_beta_mixture_nsamples(n, chips_mult, expert_weight = NULL)

Value

A numeric vector containing samples from a pooled distribution of expert opinions.

Arguments

n

Numeric value, the number of samples to be drawn.

chips_mult

Numeric matrix, containing expert weighting (distributions of chips). Rows should represent experts, columns should represent bins / weight intervals.

expert_weight

An optional numeric vector, containing the weight assigned to each expert (defaults to equal weights).

  ),
  expert_weight = rep(1/3, 3)
