Description

Initialize the data structure we maintain given the log density function h as input, as described in 2.2.1. We calculate the initial abscissa, h(x) vector, h'(x) vector, and z vector needed for further computation

Usage

1

Arguments

h

log density function

a

lower bound of function domain D (could be -Inf)

b

upper bound of function domain D (could be Inf)

Value

a list, the main data structure we will work with, containing x, h(x), d'(x), z, and other information
