convert_Normal_Gamma {kDGLM} | R Documentation |
convert_Normal_Gamma
Description
Calculates the parameters of the log-Normal that best approximates the given Inverse-Gamma distribution. The approximation is the best in the sense that it minimizes the KL divergence from the Inverse-Gamma to the log-Normal
Usage
convert_Normal_Gamma(conj.param, parms)
Arguments
conj.param |
list: A vector containing the parameters of the Inverse-Gamma (alpha,beta). |
parms |
list: A list of extra known parameters of the distribution. Not used in this function. |
Value
The parameters of the Normal distribution of the linear predictor.
