rinit workhorse

rinit workhorse

Samples from the initial-state distribution. methods

## S4 method for signature 'pomp' rinit(object, ..., params = coef(object), t0 = timezero(object), nsim = 1)

Arguments

  • object: an object of class pomp , or of a class that extends pomp . This will typically be the output of pomp, simulate, or one of the pomp inference algorithms.
  • ...: additional arguments are ignored.
  • params: a npar x nrep matrix of parameters. Each column is treated as an independent parameter set, in correspondence with the corresponding column of x.
  • t0: the initial time, i.e., the time corresponding to the initial-state distribution.
  • nsim: optional integer; the number of initial states to simulate per column of params.

Returns

rinit returns an nvar x nsim*ncol(params) matrix of state-process initial conditions when given an npar x nsim matrix of parameters, params, and an initial time t0. By default, t0 is the initial time defined when the pomp object ws constructed.
