Arguments

• apollo_beta: Named numeric vector. Names and values for parameters.
• apollo_inputs: List grouping most common inputs. Created by function apollo_validateInputs .

Nothing.

Details

This function should be called at the beginning of apollo_probabilities

to make writing the log-likelihood more user-friendly. If used, then apollo_detach

should be called at the end of apollo_probabilities, or more conveniently, using on.exit after the initial call to apollo_attach. apollo_attach attaches apollo_beta, database, draws, and the output of apollo_randCoeff and apollo_lcPars, if they are defined by the user.
