account.for.prior: Accounting for prior edge appearance probability.

In saturnin: Spanning Trees Used for Network Inference

Description

The function transforms the posterior edge appearance probability matrix given by edge.prob to account for prior edge appearance probability. For further details on the transformation, we refer the reader to the paper quoted in the references section. The function can be directly applied in edge.prob by setting account.prior to TRUE.

Usage

account.for.prior(prob, q0)

Arguments

prob	Posterior edge appearance probability matrix.
q0	Desired prior edge appearance probability.

Value

prob.q0

Transformed posterior edge appearance probability matrix.

Examples

library('saturnin')
data(data_gaussian)

W <- lweights_gaussian(data_gaussian)
prob <- edge.prob(W, log = TRUE)

prob.q0 <- account.for.prior(prob, q0 = 0.5)
