R: Generate a template simulation initial values.

bhpm.gen.initial.values {bhpm}

R Documentation

Generate a template simulation initial values.

Description

This function generates a template for the initial values to be used to start the simulation. They can be updated by the caller and passed to the simulation function.

Usage

	bhpm.gen.initial.values(cluster.data, nchains = 3,
						model = "1a", hier = 3, level = 1)

Arguments

`cluster.data`	A file or data frame containing the data for analysis.
`nchains`	The number of chains in the simulation.
`model`	The model type: "BB" for point-mass models, "1a" for non-point-mass models.
`hier`	Allowed values are 2, 3 indicating two or three level hierarchies.
`level`	The dependency level in the model: 0, 1, 2.

Value

A dataframe containing the template of intial values.
