Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

calc_new_x_log_density calculates the log density for a new observation x given known y. This is in essence a wrapper for MCMC sampling of x for the probability density p(x|y,D,alpha). Optionally, the input can be the transformed variable xbar = log(x). The densities of x and x_bar are realated by p_xbar(xbar) = p_x(xbar)*exp(xbar).

1	calc_new_x_log_density(x, y, theta_y, theta_x, hp, transformVar = F)

`y`	The known value of the response variables
`theta_y`	theta_y as a list (single theta_y sample) or list of lists (multiple theta_y samples)
`theta_x`	Parameterization for distribution of x (exponential rate)
`hp`	Hyperparameters
`transformVar`	Boolean indicating whether the input is xbar [optional; default FALSE]
`xbar`	log of the scalar age at which to calculate the log density
