HierarchicalBetaCreate(
  n,
  priorParameters,
  hyperPriorParameters,
  alphaPrior,
  maxT,
  gammaPrior,
  mhStepSize,
  num_sticks
)

Arguments

• n: Number of data sets
• priorParameters: The prior parameters for the top level base distribution.
• hyperPriorParameters: Hyper prior parameters for the top level base distribution.
• alphaPrior: Individual level concentration parameter priors.
• maxT: Bounding value of the data.
• gammaPrior: Concentration parameter for the top level priors.
• mhStepSize: Metropolis Hastings step size for the posterior drawing.
• num_sticks: Number of stick breaking values to use.

Returns

A mixing distribution object.
