Estimates model using Bayesian estimation

Description

Estimates a model using Bayesian estimation on the likelihood function defined by apollo_probabilities.

Usage

apollo_estimateHB(
  apollo_beta,
  apollo_fixed,
  apollo_probabilities,
  apollo_inputs,
  estimate_settings = NA
)

Arguments

apollo_beta	Named numeric vector. Names and values for parameters.
apollo_fixed	Character vector. Names (as defined in apollo_beta) of parameters whose value should not change during estimation.
apollo_probabilities	Function. Returns probabilities of the model to be estimated. Must receive three arguments: apollo_beta: Named numeric vector. Names and values of model parameters. apollo_inputs: List containing options of the model. See apollo_validateInputs. functionality: Character. Can be either "components", "conditionals", "estimate" (default), "gradient", "output", "prediction", "preprocess", "raw", "report", "shares_LL", "validate" or "zero_LL".
apollo_inputs	List grouping most common inputs. Created by function apollo_validateInputs.
estimate_settings	List. Options controlling the estimation process, as used for in apollo_estimate.
