Build the stan-side init-prior data block from a list of priors

Bundles the data items consumed by the init-prior dispatch in inst/stan/estimate_infections.stan (n_init_priors, init_param_ids, init_dists, init_lower, init_upper, init_dist_params_length, init_dist_params). With no priors, returns empty arrays so callers (such as forward simulation) satisfy the shared data block.

Usage

make_init_priors(priors = list())

Arguments

priors

A list of list(param_id, dist, lower_bound) entries, one per init prior; defaults to an empty list.

Value

A named list of stan_data fields to be merged in via c().
