summary.nma_prior function

Summary of prior distributions

Print a summary of prior distribution details.

## S3 method for class 'nma_prior'
summary(object, ..., probs = c(0.5, 0.95), digits = 2, trunc = NULL)

Arguments

• object: Prior distribution as a nma_prior object
• ...: Additional arguments, not used
• probs: Numeric vector of probabilities to calculate prior intervals
• digits: Number of digits to display
• trunc: Optional numeric vector of length 2, giving the truncation limits of the prior distribution. Useful if a real-valued prior is assigned to a positive-valued parameter, then trunc = c(0, Inf) will give the correct prior intervals. By default, truncation is not used.

Returns

A data frame is returned invisibly, giving the prior intervals

Examples

summary(normal(location = 0, scale = 1))
summary(half_normal(scale = 1))
summary(log_normal(location = -3.93, scale = 1.51))

# Truncation limits may be set, for example to restrict a prior to positive values
summary(normal(location = 0.5, scale = 1), trunc = c(0, Inf))
