getBound {nimble} | R Documentation |
Part of the NIMBLE language
getBound(model, node, bound, nodeFunctionIndex)
model |
A NIMBLE model object |
node |
The name of a stochastic node in the model |
bound |
Either |
nodeFunctionIndex |
For internal NIMBLE use only |
For nodes that do not involve truncation of the distribution this will return the lower or upper bound of the distribution, which may be a constant or for a limited number of distributions a parameter or functional of a parameter (at the moment in NIMBLE, the only case where a bound is a parameter is for the uniform distribution. For nodes that are truncated, this will return the desired bound, which may be a functional of other quantities in the model or may be a constant.
