Non-zero prior mean for fixed-effects
Hello! For fixef.prior
, it is in the format normal(sd = c(10, 2.5), cov, common.scale = TRUE)
and it says Normal priors are constrained to have a mean of 0 - non-zero priors are equivalent to shifting covariates.
Could you explain why non-zero priors are equivalent to shifting covariates?
Or how hard is it to allow non-zero fixed-effects priors? Do you have any clue how to incorporate the prior mean for fixed-effects? Thanks!
