Prepare Prior Parameters for Covariance Model Prior Distribution

Description

Based on the covariance and prior_cov choices, this function prepares the prior parameters for the covariance model.

Usage

prepare_prior_params(stan_data, covariance, prior_cov, mmrm_initial, same_cov)

Arguments

stan_data	A list containing the Stan data, to which the prior parameters will be added.
covariance	A character string indicating the covariance structure (e.g., "us", "ar1").
prior_cov	A character string indicating the prior covariance type (e.g., "default", "lkj").
mmrm_initial	A list containing the initial MMRM fit results, which includes the relevant frequentist estimates.
same_cov	A logical indicating whether to use the same covariance structure for all groups.

Value

Modified stan_data with prior parameters added.
