In jpmeagher/vbar: Variational Bayes Ancestral Reconstruction

Compute Terminal Taxon-specific Latent Trait Precision

Description

Computes the precision 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_precision(
  N_s,
  within_taxon_amplitude,
  conditional_standard_deviation,
  perform_checks = TRUE
)

Arguments

N_s	A natural number. The number of 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.
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.
perform_checks	Logical. Check if function inputs are specified correctly.

Value

An L-dimensional vector of real values. Precision parameters for the taxo-specific latent traits.
