logd_prior function

logd_prior

Evaluates the log probability density of value given a name of a prior pdf and the corresponding hyperparameters

logd_prior(x, pdf, hypers)

Arguments

• x: numeric; vector of values.
• pdf: character; name of a probability function. Must conform to base R nomenclature of d/r function pairs. Can include trunc for truncated pdfs from package truncdist.
• hypers: list; a list of parameters to be passed to the density function.

Returns

the value of the log density function evaluated at x
