priorsMatrix {poolABC}

Construct matrix of prior limits

Description

Takes as input the minimum and maximum values of the prior distribution for all relevant parameters and constructs a matrix of prior limits.

Usage

priorsMatrix(model, inputParams)

Arguments

model

a character, either 2pops", "Single" or "Parallel" indicating which model was simulated.

inputParams

A vector containing the minimum and maximum values of the prior distribution for each parameter in the model. The input of the CreateParameters function can be converted into a vector and used here.

Details

The output matrix contains all parameters of a given model and, for each parameter, it contains the minimum and maximum value of the prior.

Value

a matrix where each row is a different parameter. Note also that each row is named after the corresponding parameter. For each row, the first column contains the minimum value of that parameter and the second column contains the maximum value.

Examples

# create a vector of input parameters for a model with two populations
inputs <- c(Nref = c(25000, 25000), ratio = c(0.1, 3), pool = c(5, 250), seq = c(0.0001, 0.001),
split = c(0, 3), CW = c(1e-13, 1e-3), WC = c(1e-13, 1e-3), bT = c(0, 0.2))

# construct a matrix with the limits of the prior distribution
priorsMatrix(model = "2pops", inputParams = inputs)
