Objective function for the ordinal trait cut off point

Description

Update an ordinal trait cut off point by minimising the negative ELBO associated with the ordinal auxiliary trait.

Usage

ordinal_trait_cut_off_objective(
  par,
  i,
  y,
  cut_off_points,
  loading_expectation,
  latent_trait_expectation,
  loading_outer_expectation,
  latent_trait_outer_expectation,
  perform_checks = TRUE
)

Arguments

`par`	A real valued scalar. The cut off point of interest
`i`	An integer value between 3 and K. The index for the cut off point to be optimised.
`y`	An N-dimensional vector of ordered factors with K levels. An ordinal manifest trait.
`cut_off_points`	A K+1 dimensional ordered vector of values. The cut off points separating auxiliary traits into ordinal state.
`loading_expectation`	A L-dimensional vector of real numbers, The row of the expected loading matrix corresponding to the ordinal trait.
`latent_trait_expectation`	An NxL matrix of real values. The expected individual specific latent traits.
`loading_outer_expectation`	A LxL matrix. The expected outer product for the row of the expected loading matrix corresponding to the ordinal trait.
`latent_trait_outer_expectation`	A LxLxN array, The expected outer product of individual specific latent traits.
`perform_checks`	Logical. Check if function inputs are specified correctly.
