generatePrior: Generates the prior for a specific 'model'

In simonsays1980/finmix: An R package for Bayesian estimation of finite mixture distributions

Description

Calling generatePrior() generates the prior object when priordefine() had been called. When this function is called all checks have been passed and prior construction can take place.

Usage

generatePrior(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'prior'
generatePrior(object, fdata, model, varargin, prior.wagner, s)

Arguments

object	A prior object to store the prior parameters and weights.
fdata	An fdata object holding the data. Observations in slot @y must be existent.
model	A model object specifying the finite mixture model.
varargin	NULL or a prior object. This enables the user to pass in an already constructed prior object that gets then completed.
prior.wagner	A logical indicating, if the prior from Wagner (2007) should be used in case of an exponential mixture model.
s	A numeric specifying the standard deviation s for the Metropolis-Hastings proposal.
