round_floor: Rounding function

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

Rounding function

Description

Define the rounding operator associated with the floor function. The function also returns zero whenever the input is negative and caps the value at y_max, where y_max is a known upper bound on the data y (if specified).

Usage

round_floor(z, y_max = Inf)

Arguments

z	the real-valued input(s)
y_max	a fixed and known upper bound for all observations; default is Inf

Value

The count-valued output(s) from the rounding function.

Examples

# Floor function:
round_floor(1.5)
round_floor(0.5)

# Special treatmeant of negative numbers:
round_floor(-1)
