R Documentation

Calculates parameter `\lambda^` of `q^(\sigma^2_{\gamma})` to optimize the evidence based lower bound (ELBO) in `survregVB.frailty.fit`.

Calculates parameter \lambda^* of q^*(\sigma^2_{\gamma}) to optimize the evidence based lower bound (ELBO) in survregVB.frailty.fit.

lambda_star(lambda_0, K)

`lambda_0`	The shape hyperparameter `\lambda_0` of the prior distribution of the frailty variance, `\sigma_\gamma^2`.
`K`	The number of clusters.

Parameter \lambda^* of q^*(\sigma^2_{\gamma}).
