General function to create a distribution.

Usage

create_distr(name, id, value = NA, lower = NA, upper = NA, ...)

Arguments

name

the distribution name. Valid names can be found in get_distr_names

id

the distribution's ID

value

the initial value for the MCMC

lower

the lower bound, the lowest possible value

upper

an upper limit of the uniform distribution. If the upper limits needs to be infinity, set upper to Inf.

...

specific distribution parameters

Value

a distribution

Note

Prefer using the named functions create_beta_distr, create_exp_distr, create_gamma_distr, create_inv_gamma_distr, create_laplace_distr, create_log_normal_distr, create_normal_distr, create_one_div_x_distr, create_poisson_distr and create_uniform_distr

See create_beta_distr, create_exp_distr, create_gamma_distr, create_inv_gamma_distr, create_laplace_distr, create_log_normal_distr, create_normal_distr, create_one_div_x_distr, create_poisson_distr and create_uniform_distr for examples how to use those distributions

      birth_rate_distr = distr
    )
  )
  file.remove(beast2_input_file)
