check_efficient: Check for efficient proposals if necessary

In pmwg: Particle Metropolis Within Gibbs

Description

Takes a mix proportion vector (3 x float) and the efficient proposal mu and sigma. If efficient proposals are to be used (mix_proportion[3] > 0) then test the efficient proposal values to see whether they are not null and appropriate.

Usage

check_efficient(mix_proportion, efficient_mu, efficient_sig2)

Arguments

mix_proportion	A vector of floats between 0 and 1 and summing to 1 which give the proportion of particles to generate from the population level parameters, the individual random effects and the conditional parameters respectively
efficient_mu	The mu value for the efficient proposals
efficient_sig2	The sigma value for the efficient proposals

Value

nothing, stops operation on incorrect combination of parameters.
