Create a UMG plate

Plates encode exchangeable replication; nested plates encode hierarchy and overlapping plates encode crossing.

Usage

umg_plate(name, members, index, parent = NULL)

Arguments

name

Plate identifier.

members

Character vector of vertex names in the plate scope.

index

Index label, e.g. "i = 1, ..., N".

parent

Optional name of the enclosing plate (nesting).

Value

An object of class umg_plate.

Examples

umg_plate("person", c("eta1", "y1"), index = "i = 1, ..., N")
#> $name
#> [1] "person"
#> 
#> $members
#> [1] "eta1" "y1"  
#> 
#> $index
#> [1] "i = 1, ..., N"
#> 
#> $parent
#> NULL
#> 
#> attr(,"class")
