start_point: start point

In andyyao95/walkr: Random Walks in the Intersection of Hyperplanes and the N-Simplex

Description

Given Ax ≤ b, which defines a convex polytope, this function picks n random starting "center" points using linear programming.

Usage

start_point(A, b, n = 1, average = 10)

Arguments

A	is the lhs of Ax ≤ b
b	is the rhs of Ax ≤ b
n	is the number of points we want to return
average	is the number of boundary points we want to take the average of

Value

a matrix, with each column as a point

Examples

## Not run: 
## note that this Ax <= b is different from Ax=b that the 
## user specifies for walkr (see transformation section in vignette) 
start_point(A = A, b = b, n = 1, average = 10) 

## End(Not run)
