Optimization Parameters List — OptParamsList • macpan2

Create an object for specifying matrix elements to be optimized or integrated out of the objective function using a Laplace transform.

Usage

OptParamsList(
  ...,
  par_id = integer(0L),
  mat = character(0L),
  row_id = integer(0L),
  col_id = integer(0L)
)

...: Objects that can be coerced to numeric vectors, which will be concatenated to produce the default value of the parameter vector.
par_id: Integer vector identifying elements of the parameter vector to be used to replace elements of the model matrices.
mat: Character vector the same length as par_id giving the names of the matrices containing the elements to replace.
row_id: Integer vector the same length as par_id giving the row indices of the matrix elements to replace with parameter values.
col_id: Integer vector the same length as par_id giving the column indices of the matrix elements to replace with parameter values.

Object of class OptParamsList with the following methods.

$data_arg(..., .type_string = c("p", "r")): Return the following components of the data structure to pass to C++.
- {.type_string}_par_id -- Integers identifying the replacing parameter.
- {.type_string}_mat_id -- Integers identifying the matrix within which an element is to be replaced.
- {.type_string}_row_id -- Integers identifying the rows within matrices to replace.
- {.type_string}_col_id -- Integers identifying the columns within matrices to replace.
$vector(): Return the initial value of the numerical parameter vector.
$data_frame(): Return a data frame with each row describing a parameter.

...: Character vector containing the names of the matrices in the model.
.type_string: Either "p" or "r" indicating whether the object is to be used to represent fixed parameters to be optimized or random parameters to be integrated out using the Laplace transform.
