R: Get value of bound of a stochastic node in a model

getBound {nimble} | R Documentation

## Get value of bound of a stochastic node in a model

### Description

Part of the NIMBLE language

### Usage

    getBound(model, node, bound, nodeFunctionIndex)

### Arguments

`model` | A NIMBLE model object
`node` | The name of a stochastic node in the model
`bound` | Either `'lower'` or `'upper'` indicating the desired bound for the node
`nodeFunctionIndex` | For internal NIMBLE use only

### Details

For nodes that do not involve truncation of the distribution this will return the lower or upper bound of the distribution, which may be a constant or for a limited number of distributions a parameter or functional of a parameter (at the moment in NIMBLE, the only case where a bound is a parameter is for the uniform distribution. For nodes that are truncated, this will return the desired bound, which may be a functional of other quantities in the model or may be a constant.
