sample.alpha: Sample alpha

In drvalle1/EcoCluster: Bayesian Clustering using Truncated Stick-Breaking priors

Description

This function generates samples alpha, the intercept for each species

Usage

sample.alpha(nloc, xmat, betas, omega, cs, nspp)

Arguments

nloc	overall number of locations (L)
xmat	this is the L x P design matrix containing the covariates (columns) for each location (rows). Notice that this matrix does not contain a column of 1's for the intercept
betas	P x KS matrix containing slope parameters for each covariate (row) and each group (column)
omega	a matrix L x S containing the underlying latent variables omega
cs	vector of size S containing the group assignment for each species
nspp	overall number of species (S)

Value

this function returns a vector of size S with the intercept of each species
