SETTINGS {seeds}

Automatic Calculation of optimal Initial Parameters

Description

Implemented according to Engelhardt et al. 2017.

Usage

SETTINGS(
  VARIANCE,
  N,
  BETA_LAMDBA,
  alphainit,
  betainit,
  R = c(1000, 1000),
  ROH = c(10, 10)
)

Arguments

VARIANCE

standard error of the observed stat dynamics (per time point)

N

number of system states

BETA_LAMDBA

mcmc tuning parameter (weighting of observed states)

alphainit

mcmc tuning parameter (weighting of observed states)

betainit

mcmc tuning parameter (weighting of observed states)

R

mcmc tuning parameter

ROH

mcmc tuning parameter

Details

The function can be replaced by an user defined version if necessary.

Value

A list of optimal initial parameters; i.e. R, Roh, Alpha, Beta, Tau, Lambda1, Lambda2
