Prior_Anatomy: Anatomy of Two Prior Probability Density Functions

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

Description

Using advanced graphics, visualizes the behavior of (1) a Normal prior, and (2) a Cauchy priors each presented in two forms. First, as a complete prior over all possible parameter values, and (b) as a halved prior over positive half of parameter values.

Usage

1

Arguments

type

"Normal" or "Cauchy".

half

if TRUE provides half of the chosen prior distribution.

width

a numeric value determining the spread of the distribution.

Value

Graphically details the exact behavior of (1) a Normal prior, and (2) a Cauchy prior each presented in two form. First, as complete prior over all possible parameter values, and (b) as a halved prior over positive half of parameter values.
