create_stan_args function

Create a List of Stan Arguments

Generates a list of arguments as required by the stan sampling functions by combining the required options with data, and type of initialisation. Initialisation defaults to random but it is expected that create_initial_conditions() will be used.

create_stan_args(
  stan = stan_opts(),
  data = NULL,
  init = "random",
  model = "estimate_infections",
  fixed_param = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

• stan: A list of stan options as generated by stan_opts(). Defaults to stan_opts(). Can be used to override data, init, and verbose

  settings if desired.

• data: A list of stan data as created by create_stan_data()

• init: Initial conditions passed to {rstan}. Defaults to "random" (initial values randomly drawn between -2 and 2) but can also be a function (as supplied by create_initial_conditions()).

• model: Character, name of the model for which arguments are to be created.

• fixed_param: Logical, defaults to FALSE. Should arguments be created to sample from fixed parameters (used by simulation functions).

• verbose: Logical, defaults to FALSE. Should verbose progress messages be returned.

Returns

A list of stan arguments

Examples

# default settings
