Alpha parameter with a single peak

This function allows us to quickly define an alpha parameter for a Dirichlet distribution with a single (presumably high) peak*scale value at component i and all other components a uniform (presumably low) value (1-peak)/(k-1)*scale.

Usage

peak_alpha(k, i, peak = 0.8, scale = 1)

Arguments

k

Number of components

i

Index for the component that takes value peak

peak

Value for the single peak component

Value

Vector of length k
