psplineRWprior: psplineRWprior function

In bentaylor1/spatsurv: Bayesian Spatial Survival Analysis with Parametric Proportional Hazards Models

Description

A function to define Gaussian priors for omega. This function simply stores a vector of means and standard deviations to be passed to the main MCMC function, survspat.

Usage

psplineRWprior(taumean, tausd, basehaz, order = 2)

Arguments

taumean	the prior mean, a vector of length 1 or more. 1 implies a common mean.
tausd	the prior standard deviation, a vector of length 1 or more. 1 implies a common standard deviation.
basehaz	an object inheriting class "basehazardspec", specificlly, this function was used for such objects created by a call to the function PsplineHaz
order	the order of the random walk, default is 2

Value

an object of class "omegapriorGauss"
