fillup: Fillup function

Description

Function fillup() concatenates a vector with a ‘fillup’ value to ensure a unit sum; if given a matrix, attaches a column so the rowsums are 1.

Function indep() is the inverse: it removes the final element of a vector, leaving only an independent set.

Usage

fillup(x,total=1)
indep(x)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector

total

Total value for probability

Author

Details

Usually you want the total to be one, to enforce the unit sum constraint. Passing total=0 constrains the sum to be zero. This is useful when considering \(\delta p\); see the example at gradient.Rd.
