Return the prior distributions supported by `lotri()`

Source: R/priors.R
lotriPriorDists.Rd

This is the table used to validate the `prior()` statements in a `lotri()`/`ini()` block. It is exported so that downstream packages (like 'nlmixr2est') can translate a stored prior into the 'Stan' spelling when generating a model.

Usage

lotriPriorDists()

Value

data frame with columns `rName`, `stanName`, `name`, `parNames`, `nPar`, `support` and `kind`

Details

The `name` column is the canonical name that `lotri()` stores. It is the R spelling (`rName`) whenever R parameterizes the distribution the same way 'Stan' does, and the 'Stan' spelling (`stanName`) otherwise.
