IndSTPrior-class: A class to hold the priors for the ensemble model.

In EcoEnsemble: A General Framework for Combining Ecosystem Models

A class to hold the priors for the ensemble model.

Description

An IndSTPrior object encapsulates the prior information for the short-term discrepancies of the individual simulators within the ensemble model.

Details

Individual short-term discrepancies z_k^{(t)} are modelled as an AR(1) process so that

z_k^{(t+1)} \sim N(R_k z_k^{(t)}, \Lambda_k).

Accepted parametrisation forms for this discrepancy are lkj, beta, inv_wishart, hierarchical or hierarchical_beta_conjugate. See details of the EnsemblePrior() constructor for more details.

Slots

AR_param

The parameters giving the beta parameters for the autoregressive parameter of the AR(1) process.

parametrisation_form

The parametrisation by which the covariance matrix of the noise of the AR process is decomposed.

var_params

The parameters characterising the variance of the AR process on the individual short-term discrepancy.

cor_params

The parameters characterising the correlations of the AR process on the individual short-term discrepancy. .
