This function tries Newton's method. If not working, then use bisection.

Usage

vga_pois_solver(
  init_val,
  x,
  s,
  beta,
  sigma2,
  maxiter = 1000,
  tol = 1e-05,
  method = "newton"
)

Arguments

init_val

initial value for posterior mean

x, s

data and scale factor

beta, sigma2

prior mean and variance. Their length should be equal to n=length(x)
