In survregVB: Variational Bayesian Analysis of Survival Data
alpha_star R Documentation
Calculates parameter \alpha^* of q^*(b) to optimize the
evidence based lower bound (ELBO) in survregVB.fit and
survregVB.frailty.fit.
Description
Calculates parameter \alpha^* of q^*(b) to optimize the
evidence based lower bound (ELBO) in survregVB.fit and
survregVB.frailty.fit.
Usage
alpha_star(alpha_0, delta)
Arguments
alpha_0
The shape hyperparameter \alpha_0 of the prior
distribution of the scale parameter, b.
delta
A binary vector indicating right censoring.
Value
Parameter \alpha^* of q^*(b).
