initialise_individual_specific_latent_traits: Initialise the Individual-specific latent traits

In jpmeagher/vbar: Variational Bayes Ancestral Reconstruction

Initialise the Individual-specific latent traits

Description

Initialises individual specific latent traits given the auxiliary traits, a set of loadings, and a vector of precision parameters associated with each multivariate trait.

Usage

initialise_individual_specific_latent_traits(
  auxiliary_traits,
  loading,
  precision = 1,
  perform_checks = TRUE
)

Arguments

auxiliary_traits	An NxD' matrix of real numbers. The initial matrix of auxiliary traits.
loading	A DxL dimensional matrix of real values. The PLVM loading.
precision	A positive real valued scalar. A precision value allowing the latent variables to be initialised. Larger imply that auxiliary traits are more precisely observed.
perform_checks	Logical. Check if function inputs are specified correctly.

Value

An NxL dimensional matrix of real-valued latent traits.
