In franciscorichter/emphasis: Evolutionary Modeling on Phylogenetic Applications with Simulations and Importance Sampling

Generate Variates for a Non-Homogeneous Exponential Process

Description

This function generates random variates for a non-homogeneous exponential distribution using a thinning algorithm.

Usage

generateNonHomogeneousExp(num_variates, rate_func, start_time, max_time)

Arguments

num_variates	The number of variates to generate.
rate_func	A function representing the rate of the non-homogeneous process.
start_time	The start time for the generation of variates.
max_time	The maximum time limit for the generation of variates.

Value

A numeric vector of generated variates.

Examples

rate_function_example <- function(t) { 2 * t }
variates <- generateNonHomogeneousExp(5, rate_function_example, 0, 10)
print(variates)
