# ================================ rpost ==================================== #
#
#' Random sampling from extreme value posterior distributions
#'
#' Uses the \code{\link[rust]{ru}} function in the \code{\link[rust]{rust}}
#' package to simulate from the posterior distribution of an extreme value
#' model.
#'
#' @param n A numeric scalar. The size of posterior sample required.
#' @param model A character string.  Specifies the extreme value model.
#' @param data  Sample data, of a format appropriate to the value of
#'   \code{model}..
#'   \itemize{
#'     \item {"gp"} {A numeric vector of threshold excesses or raw data.}
#'     \item {"bingp"} {A numeric vector of raw data.}
#'     \item {"gev"} {A numeric vector of block maxima.}
#'     \item {"pp"} {A numeric vector of raw data.}
#'     \item {"os"} {A numeric matrix or data frame. Each row should contain
#'       the largest order statistics for a block of data.  These need not
#'       be ordered: they are sorted inside \code{rpost}. If a block
#'       contains fewer than \code{dim(as.matrix(data))[2]} order statistics
#'       then the corresponding row should be padded by \code{NA}s. If
#'       \code{ros} is supplied then only the largest \code{ros} values in
#'       each row are used.  If a vector is supplied then this is converted
#'       to a matrix with one column.  This is equivalent to using
#'       \code{model = "gev"}.}
#'   }
#' @param prior A list specifying the prior for the parameters of the extreme
#'   value model, created by \code{\link{set_prior}}.
#' @param nrep A numeric scalar.  If \code{nrep} is not \code{NULL} then
#'   \code{nrep} gives the number of replications of the original dataset
#'   simulated from the posterior predictive distribution.
#'   Each replication is based on one of the samples from the posterior
#'   distribution.  Therefore, \code{nrep} must not be greater than \code{n}.
#'   In that event \code{nrep} is set equal to \code{n}.
#'   Currently only implemented if \code{model = "gev"} or \code{"gp"} or
#'   \code{"bingp"} or \code{"pp"}, i.e. \emph{not} implemented if
#'   \code{model = "os"}.
#' @param thresh A numeric scalar.  Extreme value threshold applied to data.
#'   Only relevant when \code{model = "gp"}, \code{"pp"} or \code{"bingp"}.
#'   Must be supplied when \code{model = "pp"} or \code{"bingp"}.
#'   If \code{model = "gp"} and \code{thresh} is not supplied then
#'   \code{thresh = 0} is used and \code{data} should contain threshold
#'   excesses.
#' @param noy A numeric scalar. The number of blocks of observations,
#'   excluding any missing values.  A block is often a year.
#'   Only relevant, and must be supplied, if \code{model = "pp"}.
#' @param use_noy A logical scalar.  Only relevant if model is "pp".
#'   If \code{use_noy = FALSE} then sampling is based on a likelihood in
#'   which the number of blocks (years) is set equal to the number of threshold
#'   excesses, to reduce posterior dependence between the parameters
#'   (Wadsworth \emph{et al}., 2010).
#'   The sampled values are transformed back to the required parameterisation
#'   before returning them to the user.  If \code{use_noy = TRUE} then the
#'   user's value of \code{noy} is used in the likelihood.
#' @param npy A numeric scalar. The mean number of observations per year
#'   of data, after excluding any missing values, i.e. the number of
#'   non-missing observations divided by total number of years' worth of
#'   non-missing data.
#'
#'   The value of \code{npy} does not affect any calculation in
#'   \code{rpost}, it only affects subsequent extreme value inferences using
#'   \code{predict.evpost}.  However, setting \code{npy} in the call to
#'   \code{rpost} avoids the need to supply \code{npy} when calling
#'   \code{predict.evpost}.  This is likely to be useful only when
#'   \code{model = bingp}. See the documentation of
#'   \code{\link{predict.evpost}} for further details.
#' @param ros A numeric scalar.  Only relevant when \code{model = "os"}. The
#'   largest \code{ros} values in each row of the matrix \code{data} are used
#'   in the analysis.
#' @param bin_prior A list specifying the prior for a binomial probability
#'   \eqn{p}, created by \code{\link{set_bin_prior}}.  Only relevant if
#'   \code{model = "bingp"}.  If this is not supplied then the Jeffreys
#'   beta(1/2, 1/2) prior is used.
#' @param bin_param A character scalar.  The argument \code{param} passed to
#'   \code{\link{binpost}}.  Only relevant if a user-supplied prior function
#'   is set using \code{\link{set_bin_prior}}.
#' @param init_ests A numeric vector.  Initial parameter estimates for search
#'   for the mode of the posterior distribution.
#' @param mult A numeric scalar.  The grid of values used to choose the Box-Cox
#'   transformation parameter lambda is based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP)
#'   estimate +/- mult x estimated posterior standard deviation.
#' @param use_phi_map A logical scalar. If trans = "BC" then \code{use_phi_map}
#'   determines whether the grid of values for phi used to set lambda is
#'   centred on the maximum a posterior (MAP) estimate of phi
#'   (\code{use_phi_map = TRUE}), or on the initial estimate of phi
#'   (\code{use_phi_map = FALSE}).
#' @param weights An optional numeric vector of weights by which to multiply
#'   the observations when constructing the log-likelihood.
#'   Currently only implemented for \code{model = "gp"} or
#'   \code{model = "bingp"}.
#'   In the latter case \code{bin_prior$prior} must be \code{"bin_beta"}.
#'   \code{weights} must have the same length as \code{data}.
#' @param ... Further arguments to be passed to \code{\link[rust]{ru}}.  Most
#'   importantly \code{trans} and \code{rotate} (see \strong{Details}), and
#'   perhaps \code{r}, \code{ep}, \code{a_algor}, \code{b_algor},
#'   \code{a_method}, \code{b_method}, \code{a_control}, \code{b_control}.
#'   May also be used to pass the arguments \code{n_grid} and/or \code{ep_bc}
#'   to \code{\link[rust]{find_lambda}}.
#' @details
#' \emph{Generalised Pareto (GP)}: \code{model = "gp"}.  A model for threshold
#'   excesses.  Required arguments: \code{n}, \code{data} and \code{prior}.
#'   If \code{thresh} is supplied then only the values in \code{data} that
#'   exceed \code{thresh} are used and the GP distribution is fitted to the
#'   amounts by which those values exceed \code{thresh}.
#'   If \code{thresh} is not supplied then the GP distribution is fitted to
#'   all values in \code{data}, in effect \code{thresh = 0}.
#'   See also \code{\link{gp}}.
#'
#' \emph{Binomial-GP}: \code{model = "bingp"}.  The GP model for threshold
#'   excesses supplemented by a binomial(\code{length(data)}, \eqn{p})
#'   model for the number of threshold excesses.  See Northrop et al. (2017)
#'   for details.  Currently, the GP and binomial parameters are assumed to
#'   be independent \emph{a priori}.
#'
#' \emph{Generalised extreme value (GEV) model}: \code{model = "gev"}.  A
#'   model for block maxima.  Required arguments: \code{n}, \code{data},
#'   \code{prior}.  See also \code{\link{gev}}.
#'
#' \emph{Point process (PP) model}: \code{model = "pp"}. A model for
#'   occurrences of threshold exceedances and threshold excesses.  Required
#'   arguments: \code{n}, \code{data}, \code{prior}, \code{thresh} and
#'   \code{noy}.
#'
#' \emph{r-largest order statistics (OS) model}: \code{model = "os"}.
#'   A model for the largest order statistics within blocks of data.
#'   Required arguments: \code{n}, \code{data}, \code{prior}.  All the values
#'   in \code{data} are used unless \code{ros} is supplied.
#'
#' \emph{Parameter transformation}.  The scalar logical arguments (to the
#'   function \code{\link{ru}}) \code{trans} and \code{rotate} determine,
#'   respectively, whether or not Box-Cox transformation is used to reduce
#'   asymmetry in the posterior distribution and rotation of parameter
#'   axes is used to reduce posterior parameter dependence.  The default
#'   is \code{trans = "none"} and \code{rotate = TRUE}.
#'
#'   See the \href{https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=revdbayes}{Introducing revdbayes vignette}
#'   for further details and examples.
#'
#' @return An object (list) of class \code{"evpost"}, which has the same
#'   structure as an object of class \code{"ru"} returned from
#'   \code{\link[rust]{ru}}.
#'   In addition this list contains
#'   \itemize{
#'     \item{\code{model}:} The argument \code{model} to \code{rpost}
#'       detailed above.
#'     \item{\code{data}:} The content depends on \code{model}:
#'       if \code{model = "gev"} then this is the argument \code{data} to
#'       \code{rpost} detailed above, with missing values removed;
#'       if \code{model = "gp"} then only the values that lie above the
#'       threshold are included; if \code{model = "bingp"} or
#'       \code{model = "pp"} then the input data are returned
#'       but any value lying below the threshold is set to \code{thresh};
#'       if \code{model = "os"} then the order statistics used are returned
#'       as a single vector.
#'     \item{\code{prior}:} The argument \code{prior} to \code{rpost}
#'       detailed above.
#'   }
#'   If \code{nrep} is not \code{NULL} then this list also contains
#'   \code{data_rep}, a numerical matrix with \code{nrep} rows.  Each
#'   row contains a replication of the original data \code{data}
#'   simulated from the posterior predictive distribution.
#'   If \code{model = "bingp"} or \code{"pp"} then the rate of threshold
#'   exceedance is part of the inference.  Therefore, the number of values in
#'   \code{data_rep} that lie above the threshold varies between
#'   predictive replications (different rows of \code{data_rep}).
#'   Values below the threshold are left-censored at the threshold, i.e. they
#'   are set at the threshold.
#'
#'   If \code{model == "pp"} then this list also contains the argument
#'     \code{noy} to \code{rpost} detailed above.
#'   If the argument \code{npy} was supplied then this list also contains
#'   \code{npy}.
#'
#'   If \code{model == "gp"} or \code{model == "bingp"} then this list also
#'     contains the argument \code{thresh} to \code{rpost} detailed above.
#'
#'   If \code{model == "bingp"} then this list also contains
#'   \itemize{
#'     \item{\code{bin_sim_vals}:} {An \code{n} by 1 numeric matrix of values
#'       simulated from the posterior for the binomial
#'       probability \eqn{p}}
#'     \item{\code{bin_logf}:} {A function returning the log-posterior for
#'       \eqn{p}.}
#'     \item{\code{bin_logf_args}:} {A list of arguments to \code{bin_logf}.}
#'   }
#' @seealso \code{\link{set_prior}} for setting a prior distribution.
#' @seealso \code{\link{rpost_rcpp}} for faster posterior simulation using
#'   the Rcpp package.
#' @seealso \code{\link{plot.evpost}}, \code{\link{summary.evpost}} and
#'   \code{\link{predict.evpost}} for the S3 \code{plot}, \code{summary}
#'   and \code{predict} methods for objects of class \code{evpost}.
#' @seealso \code{\link[rust]{ru}} and \code{\link[rust]{ru_rcpp}} in the
#'   \code{\link[rust]{rust}} package for details of the arguments that can
#'   be passed to \code{ru} and the form of the object returned by
#'   \code{rpost}.
#' @seealso \code{\link[rust]{find_lambda}} and
#'   \code{\link[rust]{find_lambda_rcpp}} in the \code{\link[rust]{rust}}
#'   package is used inside \code{rpost} to set the Box-Cox transformation
#'   parameter lambda when the \code{trans = "BC"} argument is given.

# =============================== binpost =================================== #

#' Random sampling from a binomial posterior distribution
#'
#' Samples from the posterior distribution of the probability \eqn{p}
#' of a binomial distribution.
#'
#' @param n A numeric scalar. The size of posterior sample required.
#' @param prior A function to evaluate the prior, created by
#'   \code{\link{set_bin_prior}}.
#' @param ds_bin A numeric list.  Sufficient statistics for inference
#'   about a binomial probability \eqn{p}.  Contains
#' \itemize{
#'   \item {\code{n_raw} : number of raw observations}
#'   \item {\code{m} : number of threshold exceedances.}
#' }
#' @param param A character scalar.  Only relevant if \code{prior$prior} is a
#'   (user-supplied) R function.  \code{param} specifies the parameterization
#'   of the posterior distribution that \code{\link[rust]{ru}} uses for
#'   sampling.
#'
#'   If \code{param = "p"} the original parameterization \eqn{p} is
#'   used.
#'
#'   If \code{param = "logit"} (the default) then \code{\link[rust]{ru}}
#'   samples from the posterior for the logit of \eqn{p}, before transforming
#'   back to the \eqn{p}-scale.
#'
#'   The latter tends to make the optimizations involved in the
#'   ratio-of-uniforms algorithm more stable and to increase the probability
#'   of acceptance, but at the expense of slower function evaluations.
#' @details If \code{prior$prior == "bin_beta"} then the posterior for \eqn{p}
#'   is a beta distribution so \code{\link[stats:Beta]{rbeta}} is used to
#'   sample from the posterior.
#'
#'   If \code{prior$prior == "bin_mdi"} then
#'   rejection sampling is used to sample from the posterior with an envelope
#'   function equal to the density of a
#'   beta(\code{ds$m} + 1, \code{ds$n_raw - ds$m} + 1) density.
#'
#'   If \code{prior$prior == "bin_northrop"} then
#'   rejection sampling is used to sample from the posterior with an envelope
#'   function equal to the posterior density that results from using a
