getBayesianConstants: (Internal) Parse Bayesian-related constants

In choi-phd/TestDesign: Optimal Test Design Approach to Fixed and Adaptive Test Construction

(Internal) Parse Bayesian-related constants

Description

getBayesianConstants is an internal function for parsing Bayesian-related constants

Usage

getBayesianConstants(config, simulation_constants)

Arguments

config	a config_Shadow object. Use createShadowTestConfig for this.
simulation_constants	a named list containing simulation constants.

Value

getBayesianConstants returns a named list containing:

final_theta_prior_densities

prior densities for final theta estimation for all examinees.

If interim or final theta estimation method is EB or FB, the following are included in the list:

n_sample

the length of MCMC chain for theta estimation.

burn_in

the length of MCMC chain to trim from the start of the chain.

thin

the thinning interval to apply to the chain.

jump_factor

the scaling factor.
