c212.gen.initial.values {c212}

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

	c212.gen.initial.values(trial.data, nchains = 3,
						model = "1a", hier = 3, level = 0)

Arguments

trial.data

A file or data frame containing the trial data, either for end of trial or interim 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 initial values.
