Creating an msBPTree
Description
Create an object of the class msBPTree
Usage
msBP.tree(max.s = 10)
Arguments
max.s |
Maximum depth of the binary tree |
Details
An object of the class msbpTree
is a list of 5 elements that represent a draw from a msBP(a,b) prior as introduced by Canale and Dunson (2016). The first two elements are the trees of the stopping and descending-to-the-right probabilities, respectively. Both are object of the class binaryTree
. The third and fourth argument are the hyperparameters of the msBP prior, namely a
and b
. The last value is an integer with the maximum depth of both the trees.
Value
An object of the class msBPTree
with zero at all nodes and a=b=NULL
.
