Used inside fn's named-shortcut arguments to say "estimate this
parameter" rather than fixing it to a number:
fn("threshold", c = est(), kappa = 10). In the formula DSL a free
symbol alone declares a parameter, so est() is only needed where a
value slot must distinguish estimate-vs-fix.
Usage
est(lower = NULL, upper = NULL)
Arguments
- lower, upper
Optional bounds; if both given, the default prior is
dunif(lower, upper). Otherwise the parameter gets a
parameter-specific default (e.g. the observed range of x for a
threshold cutpoint). Override via prior(..., class = "fn").
Value
A bml_est marker object.
