In EpiNow2: Estimate and Forecast Real-Time Infection Dynamics

Create sampling log message

Description

Internal function that creates a formatted log message describing the sampling parameters. The message format varies by method, with different information shown for exact sampling vs approximate methods (VB, Laplace, Pathfinder). Optionally includes time steps and forecast horizon if present.

Usage

create_sampling_log_message(args, method)

Arguments

args	List of stan arguments containing: object: Stan model object (CmdStanModel or stanmodel) For sampling method: iter_sampling, iter_warmup (cmdstanr) or iter, warmup (rstan), chains For vb method: iter, trials, output_samples For laplace method: trials For pathfinder method: trials, draws data: List potentially containing t (time steps) and horizon (forecast)
method	Character string indicating the sampling method. One of "sampling" (exact MCMC), "vb" (variational Bayes), "laplace" (Laplace approximation), or "pathfinder" (pathfinder algorithm).

Value

A character string containing the formatted log message with a %s placeholder for the id parameter (to be filled by sprintf or flog.debug)
