Takes raw data and sets up data object for use by ash
set_data(betahat, sebetahat, lik = NULL, alpha = 0)
data object (list)
vector of betahats
vector of standard errors
a likelihood (see e.g., lik_normal())
specifies value of alpha to use (model is for betahat/sebetahat^alpha | sebetahat)
The data object stores both the data, and details of the model to be used for the data. For example, in the generalized version of ash the cdf and pdf of the likelihood are stored here.
