init_params_mean: Initialize the parameters for a simple mean-only model

In drkowal/rSTAR: MCMC and EM algorithms for Simultaneous Transformation and Rounding (STAR) Models

Initialize the parameters for a simple mean-only model

Description

Initialize the parameters for the model y ~ N(mu0, sigma^2) with a flat prior on mu0.

Usage

init_params_mean(y)

Arguments

y	n x 1 vector of data

Value

a named list params containing

1. mu: vector of conditional means (fitted values)

2. sigma: the conditional standard deviation

3. coefficients: a named list of parameters that determine mu

Note

The only parameter in coefficients is mu0. Although redundant here, this parametrization is useful in other functions.

Examples

# Example:
params = init_params_mean(y = 1:10)
