fortify_priors: Fortify a list of priors

In awstringer1/casecrossover: Approximate Bayesian Inference for Case Crossover Models

Description

This function takes a list of priors, validates them using validate_prior_distribution(), and stacks them together into one function that takes a vector argument, representing the joint prior on all hyperparameters. This enforces prior independence between hyperparameters.

The user shouldn't have to use this function; it is exported in case advanced users want to define their own priors.

Usage

fortify_priors(priorlist)

Arguments

priorlist

A list of priors, each as created by e.g. pc_prior() or in the same format. Its elements will be passed to validate_prior_distribution().

Value

A function which computes the joint log-prior of all hyperparameters, assuming prior independence.
