getparranges: getparranges function

Description

A function to extract parameter ranges for creating a grid on which to evaluate the log-posterior, used in calibrating the MCMC. This function is not intended for general use.

Usage

getparranges(priors, leneta, mult = 1.96)

Value

an appropriate range used to calibrate the MCMC: the mean of the prior for eta plus/minus 1.96 times the standard deviation

Arguments

priors

an object of class mcmcPriors

leneta

the length of eta passed to the function

mult

defaults to 1.96 so the grid formed will be mean plus/minus 1.96 times the standard deviation
