gammaproposal {Bayesiantreg}R Documentation

A proposal for gamma parameters

Description

Propose a value for the gamma parameters

Usage

gammaproposal(y, x, z, betas.ini, gammas.ini, gl.ini, gpri, Gpri)

Arguments

y

object of class matrix, with the dependent variable

x

object of class matrix, with the variables for modelling the mean

z

object of class matrix, with the variables for modelling the variance

betas.ini

a vector with the previous proposal beta parameters

gammas.ini

a vector with the previous proposal gamma parameters

gl.ini

a vector with the previous proposal degrees of freedom parameter

gpri

a vector with the values of the mean of the prior of gamma.

Gpri

a matrix with the values of the variance of the prior of gamma.

Details

Generate a proposal for the gamma parameters according to the model proposed by Marin and Cepeda-Cuervo (_).

Value

gammas.pro

a number with the proposal for the gamma parameters.
