msBP.tree: Creating an 'msBPTree'

In msBP: Multiscale Bernstein Polynomials for Densities

Creating an msBPTree

Description

Create an object of the class msBPTree

Usage

msBP.tree(max.s = 10)

Arguments

max.s

Maximum depth of the binary tree

Details

An object of the class msbpTree is a list of 5 elements that represent a draw from a msBP(a,b) prior as introduced by Canale and Dunson (2016). The first two elements are the trees of the stopping and descending-to-the-right probabilities, respectively. Both are object of the class binaryTree. The third and fourth argument are the hyperparameters of the msBP prior, namely a and b. The last value is an integer with the maximum depth of both the trees.

Value

An object of the class msBPTree with zero at all nodes and a=b=NULL.
