setDefaultInitializeParameters {blatent}

Sets the distribution parameters for initializing all parameters

Description

All parameters are initialized with distributions using these parameters. Used to quickly set priors for sets of parameters.

Usage

setDefaultInitializeParameters(
  normalMean = 0,
  normalVariance = 1,
  normalCovariance = 0,
  dirichletAlpha = 1
)

Arguments

normalMean

Sets the initialization distribution mean for all parameters with normal distributions. Defaults to 0.

normalVariance

Sets the initialization distribution variance for all parameters with normal distributions. Defaults to 10.

normalCovariance

Sets the initialization distribution covariance for all parameters with multivariate normal distributions. Defaults to 0.

dirichletAlpha

Sets the initialization of the alpha parameters for all parameters with a categorical distribution. Defaults to 1.

Value

A list containing named values for each argument in the function.
