gen_prior: Generate a log prior function

In rplzzz/CovMitigation: COVID-19 infection model for Virginia

Description

This function returns a a function that given an input set of parameters evaluates the log-prior probability density for the parameters. Eventually this function will be able to take hyperparameter arguments that influence the details of the priors, but for now they're fixed.

Usage

gen_prior(hparms, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

hparms	Named vector of hyperparameters, described in gen_post
verbose	If TRUE, print out additional diagnostic information.

Details

The parameters currently recognized are described in gen_likelihood. If there are any parameters not in that list present, an error will be raised.

Value

A function that takes a named vector of parameters and returns the log-prior probability density
