default_values function

Set default values

The .default() function is used internally to mark certain values as default, so that the user may be notified when default values are being used. For example, choosing a default reference treatment for a network, or using default prior distributions. The function .is_default() checks whether an argument/object is set to a default value. Neither of these functions are intended to be called by the user.

.default(x = list())

.is_default(x)

Arguments

• x: An object

Returns

For .default(), an identical object with additional attribute .default. For .is_default(), a logical value (TRUE or FALSE).
