rmhmodel.list: Define Point Process Model for Metropolis-Hastings Simulation.

Description

Given a list of parameters, builds a description of a point process model for use in simulating the model by the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm.

Usage

# S3 method for list
rmhmodel(model, ...)

Arguments

model

A list of parameters. See Details.

…

Optional list of additional named parameters.

Value

An object of class "rmhmodel", which is essentially a validated list of parameter values for the model.

There is a print method for this class, which prints a sensible description of the model chosen.

Details

The generic function rmhmodel takes a description of a point process model in some format, and converts it into an object of class "rmhmodel" so that simulations of the model can be generated using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm rmh.

This function rmhmodel.list is the method for lists. The argument model should be a named list of parameters of the form

list(cif, par, w, trend, types)

where cif and par are required and the others are optional. For details about these components, see rmhmodel.default.

The subsequent arguments … (if any) may also have these names, and they will take precedence over elements of the list model.
