Initialize a negative Binomial likelihood node

This function constructs a likelihood object to represent a negative Binomial likelihood node.

Usage

NegBin(input_dim = NULL)

input_dim: a vector of length two that contains the indices of two GP nodes in the feeding layer whose outputs feed into this likelihood node. When set to NULL, all outputs from GP nodes in the feeding layer feed into this likelihood node, and in such a case one needs to ensure that only two GP nodes are specified in the feeding layer. Defaults to NULL.

A 'python' object to represent a negative Binomial likelihood node.

The negative Binomial likelihood node can only be linked to two feeding GP nodes.
