plot_prior function

Plot: Prior Distribution

Visualize the implied prior distribution for the partial correlations. This is particularly useful for the Bayesian hypothesis testing methods.

plot_prior(prior_sd = 0.5, iter = 5000)

Arguments

• prior_sd: Scale of the prior distribution, approximately the standard deviation of a beta distribution (defaults to 0.5).
• iter: Number of iterations (prior samples; defaults to 5000).

Returns

A ggplot object.

Examples

# note: iter = 250 for demonstrative purposes

plot_prior(prior_sd = 0.25, iter = 250)
