Logical Check of Data
Description
This function provides a logical test of whether or not a given list
of data meets minimum criteria to be considered data for
IterativeQuadrature, LaplaceApproximation,
LaplacesDemon, PMC, or
VariationalBayes.
Usage
is.data(Data)
Arguments
Data |
This is a list of data. For more information, see the

Details
This function is useful for testing whether or not a list of data
meets minimum criteria to be considered data in this package. The
minimum requirements are that Data is a list, and it contains
mon.names and parm.names.
This function is not extensive. For example, it does not match the
length of parm.names with the length of Initial.Values,
or compare the length of mon.names to the number of monitored
variables output from the Model specification
function. Additional checks are conducted in
IterativeQuadrature, LaplaceApproximation,
LaplacesDemon, PMC, and
VariationalBayes.
Value
The is.data function returns a logical value. It returns
TRUE if Data meets minimum requirements to be considered
data in this package, and FALSE otherwise.
