Class "rpa.priors"

Description

Class for defining prior parameters in the RPA package.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("rpa.priors", ...).

An extended list with elements alpha, beta, d.

alpha

A list. Each element is a list that corresponds to one probeset and specified the shape parameters of the inverse Gamma distribution for the probe-specific variance priors.

beta

A list. Each element is a list that corresponds to one probeset and specified the scale parameters of the inverse Gamma distribution for the probe-specific variance priors.

d

Not implemented. Can be later used to set priors for d.

Slots

.Data:

Object of class "list" ~~

Extends

Class "list", from data part. Class "vector", by class "list", distance 2.

Methods

No methods defined with class "rpa.priors" in the signature.
