tranf: Apply a transformation to the parameters

In poolABC: Approximate Bayesian Computation with Pooled Sequencing Data

Apply a transformation to the parameters

Description

This function applies a transformation to the parameter values.

Usage

tranf(x, min, max)

Arguments

x	is the parameter vector (long vector of numbers from the simulations). These are the values to be transformed.
min	is the minimum value of the prior for this parameter.
max	is the maximum value of the prior for this parameter.

Details

The transformation should be applied before parameter estimation using an Approximate Bayesian Computation framework to ensure that the estimates do not fall outside the boundaries set by the prior distribution.

Value

a numeric vector with the same length as x with the parameter values transformed.
