generate_random_start: Generate random starting values from a parameter table

In ada-w-yan/deltaomicron1: Fit model to Delta and Omicron growth curves with and without Camostat

Generate random starting values from a parameter table

Description

generate_random_start generates random starting values for all parameters to be fitted

Usage

generate_random_start(parTab, random_seed, f)

Arguments

parTab	a parameter table data frame of the form needed by the run_mcmc function
random_seed	random seed for generation The info used here are the columns parTab$fixed: 1 indicates the parameter is fixed, 0 indicates the parameter is to be fitted parTab$lower_bound: lower bounds for parameters allowed for proposal steps parTab$upper_bound: lower bounds for parameters allowed for proposal steps

Value

a data frame of the same for as parTab, but the values of the fitted parameters are chosen from a uniform distribution with bounds lower_bound, upper_bound
