plotPriors {GRENITS} | R Documentation

## Plot prior using parameter vector

### Description

Plot appropriate priors using parameters from vector

### Usage

    plotPriors(parameter.vec)

### Arguments

`parameter.vec` | MCMC parameter vector of the type generated by e.g. mcmc.defaultParams_Linear

### Details

This function takes the parameter vector that will be used for network inference function and plots the priors associated with the parameters given.

### Examples

        # Get default parameters
        nonLinearNet.params <- mcmc.defaultParams_nonLinear()

        # Change run length
        nonLinearNet.params[1] <- 150000

        # Change prior on smoothness parameter
        nonLinearNet.params[6] <- 30000 # Change truncation
        nonLinearNet.params[12] <- 3 # Concentrate more mass close to linear region

        # Plot to check changes
        plotPriors(nonLinearNet.params)
