Independent normal prior

Independent normal prior

Usage

prior_normal(mean, sd = 1)

Arguments

mean

Numeric vector of means (one per parameter). Naming the vector (e.g. c(beta = 0, gamma = 0)) attaches those names to every downstream parameter matrix, posterior sample, and diagnostic plot. Must be finite; a normal prior has no legitimate use for an infinite mean.

sd

Numeric scalar or vector of standard deviations. Must be finite and positive.

Value

An nsbi_prior object.

Examples

prior <- prior_normal(mean = c(0, 0), sd = 1)
