get_prior: Get the prior distribution of a model parameter

In bayesforecast: Bayesian Time Series Modeling with Stan

Get the prior distribution of a model parameter

Description

The functions gets the defined distribution of a defined model parameter

Usage

get_prior(model,par,lag = 0)

Arguments

model	a time series model class specified in bayesforecast.
par	a string value with the desired parameter to impose a prior. Possible arguments are: "mu0", "sigma0", "ar", "ma", "arch", "garch", "mgarch", "dfv", "df" or "breg".
lag	an optional integer value, indicates the desired parameter's lag to impose a prior. If lag = 0, then the prior distribution will be applied for all lags

Value

None. Prints the prior distribution of a desired parameter.

Examples

# get all the ar parameters
dat = Sarima(birth,order = c(2,1,2))
get_prior(model = dat,par = "ar")

# change the mean constant parameter
dat = set_prior(model = dat,par = "mu0",dist = student(0,2.5,7))
get_prior(dat,par = "mu0")

# change and print only the second ma parameter
dat = set_prior(model = dat,par = "ma",dist = beta(2,2),lag = 2)
get_prior(dat,par = "ma")
