Converts a <dist_spec> into the integer/vector representation consumed
by the init-prior loop in inst/stan/estimate_infections.stan (data
items init_dists, init_dist_params, init_lower, init_upper).
Usage
pack_init_prior(dist, lower_bound = 0)
Arguments
- dist
A <dist_spec> (LogNormal, Gamma, or Normal).
- lower_bound
Numeric, lower bound on the parameter's support.
Value
A list with elements dist_type (integer code: 0 = lognormal,
1 = gamma, 2 = normal), params (numeric, the distribution parameters),
lower and upper (numeric scalars).
