convert_to_natural function

Internal function for converting parameters to natural parameters.

This is used for preprocessing before generating a dist_spec object from a given set of parameters and distribution

convert_to_natural(params, distribution)

Arguments

• params: A numerical named parameter vector
• distribution: Character; the distribution to use.

Returns

A list with two elements, params_mean and params_sd, containing mean and sd of natural parameters.

Examples

## Not run:

convert_to_natural(
  params = list(mean = 2, sd = 1),
  distribution = "gamma"
)
## End(Not run)
