Simulate a Variable from a negative binomial mixture (Negative Binomial Error)

Simulate a variable from negative binomial mixture.

Usage

rnegbinStateValueMembership(n, stateVal, statePrec, stateProb)

Arguments

n

An integer scalar containing the number of variables to simulate (NIMBLE currently only allows n = 1)

stateVal

A numeric vector containing the mean values of the mixture components

statePrec

A numeric vector containing the precision (reciprocal of the variance) of the mixture components

stateProb

A numeric vector containing the probabilities of belonging to each mixture component (internally normalised to one)

Value

A scalar containing the simulated response variable
