apollo_validateHBControl

Validates the apollo_HB list of parameters

Validates the apollo_HB list of parameters and sets default values for the omitted ones.

apollo_validateHBControl(
  apollo_HB,
  apollo_beta,
  apollo_fixed,
  apollo_control,
  silent = FALSE
)

`apollo_HB`	List. Contains options for bayesian estimation. See doHB for details. Parameters `modelname`, `gVarNamesFixed`, `gVarNamesNormal`, `gDIST`, `svN` and `FC` are automatically set based on the other arguments of this function. It should also include a named character vector called `hbDist` identifying the distribution of each parameter to be estimated. Possible values are as follows. "F": Fixed - parameter kept at its starting value (not estimated). "NR": Non-random parameter, i.e. with a generic value across individuals. "N": Normal. "LN+": Positive log-normal. "LN-": Negative log-normal. "CN+": Positive censored normal. "CN-": Negative censored normal. "JSB": Johnson SB.
`apollo_beta`	Named numeric vector. Names and values for parameters.
`apollo_fixed`	Character vector. Names (as defined in `apollo_beta`) of parameters whose value should not change during estimation. value is constant throughout estimation).
`apollo_control`	List. Options controlling the running of the code. See apollo_validateInputs.
`silent`	Boolean. TRUE to keep the function from printing to the console. Default is FALSE.

This function is only necessary when using bayesian estimation.
