validate_prior

Validates a single user-defined prior to ensure it specifies a valid distribution supported by Nimble and has the correct parameters for the distribution.

Simulating data and fitting multi-species N-mixture models using 'nimble'. Includes features for handling zero-inflation and temporal correlation, Bayesian inference, model diagnostics, parameter estimation, and predictive checks. Designed for ecological studies with zero-altered or time-series data. Mimnagh, N., Parnell, A., Prado, E., & Moral, R. A. (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10651-022-00542-7>. Royle, J. A.
