## Auxiliary for Setting the ERGMM Prior

### Description

Auxiliary function as user interface for `ergmm` prior specification. Typically only used when calling `ergmm`. It is used to supply the parameters of the prior distribution of the model, to overwrite those specified in the model formula, and to supply miscellaneous prior parameters.

### Usage

    ergmm.prior(..., adjust.beta.var = TRUE)

### Arguments

`...` | Prior distribution parameters. See terms.ergmm for more information.
`adjust.beta.var` | A shortcut: whether the prior variance for each covariate coefficient should be divided by the mean square of that covariate. This adjustment affects those variances specified in the formula or by default, but not those specified through the `prior=` argument.

### Value

A list with the arguments as elements.
