GLMMMCMCinit.b

Handle init.b or init2.b argument of GLMM_MCMC function

This is a help function for GLMM_MCMC function.

THIS FUNCTION IS NOT TO BE CALLED BY ORDINARY USERS.

GLMM_MCMCinit.b(init.b, prior.b, scale.b,
                id, dimb, LTb, naamLTb,
                I, ibMat, iEranefVec, iSDranefVec, number="")

`init.b`	see argument `init.b` or `init2.b` of `GLMM_MCMC` function
`prior.b`	see argument `prior.b` of `GLMM_MCMC` function
`scale.b`	see argument `scale.b` of `GLMM_MCMC` function
`id`
`dimb`	dimension of random effects (random intercepts included)
`LTb`	length of lower triangle of matrix dimb x dimb
`naamLTb`	names (indices) for elements of a lower triangle of matrix dimb x dimb
`I`	number of subjects (grouped observations) in the original data (before removing NA's)
`ibMat`	matrix with initial values of random effects
`iEranefVec`	vector with initial values of overall means of random effects
`iSDranefVec`	vector with initial values of overall standard deviations of random effects
`number`	label of the initial values (used only in error messages)
