Create a Laplace distribution

Create a Laplace distribution

Usage

create_laplace_distr(
  id = NA,
  mu = 0,
  scale = 1,
  value = NA,
  lower = NA,
  upper = NA
)

Arguments

id

the distribution's ID

mu

the mu parameter, a numeric value. For advanced usage, use the structure as returned by create_mu_param

scale

the scale parameter, a numeric value. For advanced usage, use the structure as returned by create_scale_param

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.

Value

a Laplace distribution
