A class for defining priors to be translated to Stan code. Objects of class
Prior should not be created directly but by one of the specific prior
class constructors.
Slots
stan_codecharacter. Stan implementation of the prior, with placeholders for parameters surrounded with
{{and}}to be replaced withglue::glue().n_paraminteger. Number of prior parameters.
constraintcharacter. Support of prior distribution expressed as a Stan constraint, e.g.
"<lower=0, upper=1>".
