Bayesian inference for calculating random samples of a cost given risk event(s).

Usage

cost_pdf(
  num_sims,
  risk_probs,
  means_given_risks,
  sds_given_risks,
  base_cost = 0
)

Arguments

num_sims

Number of random samples to draw from the mixture model.

risk_probs

A vector of probabilities for each risk event 'R_i'.

means_given_risks

A vector of means of the normal distribution for cost 'A' given each risk event 'R_i'.

sds_given_risks

A vector of standard deviations of the normal distribution for cost 'A' given each risk event 'R_i'.

base_cost

The baseline cost given no risk event occurs.

Value

A numeric vector of random samples from the mixture model.

Examples

# Example with three risk events
num_sims <- 1000
risk_probs <- c(0.3, 0.5, 0.2)
means_given_risks <- c(10000, 15000, 5000)
sds_given_risks <- c(2000, 1000, 1000)
base_cost <- 2000
samples <- cost_pdf(
  num_sims = num_sims,
  risk_probs = risk_probs,
  means_given_risks = means_given_risks,
  sds_given_risks = sds_given_risks,
  base_cost = base_cost
)
