In jpmeagher/vbar: Variational Bayes Ancestral Reconstruction

Compute Terminal Taxon-specific Latent Trait Expectation

Description

Computes the expected value of taxon-specific latent traits at terminal nodes of the phylogeny under the approximate posterior distribution for the PLVM.

Usage

compute_terminal_taxon_specific_latent_trait_expectation(
  individual_specific_latent_traits,
  within_taxon_amplitude,
  parent_taxon_latent_trait,
  conditional_expectation_weight,
  conditional_standard_deviation,
  latent_trait_precision,
  perform_checks = TRUE
)

Arguments

individual_specific_latent_traits	An L-dimensional vector of real values. The latent trait values associated with individuals within the taxon.
within_taxon_amplitude	An L-dimensional vector of real values on the interval [0, 1]. The within-taxon variation parameters for each of the L latent traits.
parent_taxon_latent_trait	An L-dimensional vector of real values. The latent trait values associated with the parent taxon.
conditional_expectation_weight	An L-dimensional vector of real values on the interval [0, 1]. The weight of the latent trait values for the parent taxon in the conditional distribution for the taxon-specific latent trait.
conditional_standard_deviation	An L-dimensional vector of real values on the interval [0, 1]. The standard deviation of the taxon-specific latent trait conditional on its parent taxon.
latent_trait_precision	An L-dimensional vector of positive real values. The precision of the taxon-specific latent trait.
perform_checks	Logical. Check if function inputs are specified correctly.

Value

An L-dimensional vector of real values.
