Build a list of mcstate::pmcmc_parameter() objects, starting from the return_default_priors() template and then layering on any overrides.

Usage

build_priors(
  param_inputs,
  proposal_matrix,
  params_to_estimate,
  override_priors = NULL
)

Arguments

param_inputs

Named list of initial values (so that we know which parameters actually exist).

proposal_matrix

Numeric matrix (rownames must match parameter names).

params_to_estimate

Character vector of names we actually want to estimate.

override_priors

Optional named list of lists: each element must match the structure returned by return_default_priors().

Value

Named list of mcstate::pmcmc_parameter objects for all parameters present in both param_inputs and proposal_matrix.
