 #' @title Prepare priors
+#'The function is preparing a set of hyperparameters for a Bayesian model that characterizes antibody (or biomarker) responses. 
+#'It assumes that each antigen-isotype is modeled by 5 parameters, which are transformed by taking their logarithm 
+#'(with the fifth parameter adjusted as shape-1). These 5 parameters are named in the code as:
+#'1. y0
+#'2. y1,
+#'3. t1,
+#'4. alpha, and
+#'5. shape 
 #'
 #' @param max_antigens [integer]: how many antigen-isotypes will be modeled
 #'
 #' @returns a [list] with elements:
-#' "n_params": how many parameters??
-#' - "mu.hyp": ??
-#' - "prec.hyp": ??
-#' - "omega" : ??
-#' - "wishdf": Wishart distribution degrees of freedom
-#' - "prec.logy.hyp": array of hyper-parameters for the precision
-#' (inverse variance) of the biomarkers, on log-scale
+#' n_params: Number of model parameters (log-transformed y0, y1, t1, alpha, shape-1).
+#' mu.hyp: Hyperparameter means for the log-transformed model parameters.
+#' prec.hyp: Diagonal precision matrix for the normal priors, setting the inverse variance for each parameter.
+#' omega: Diagonal scale matrix used with the Wishart prior to shape the covariance structure.
+#' wishdf: Degrees of freedom for the Wishart prior (set to 20).
+#' prec.logy.hyp: Hyperparameters (e.g., shape and rate) for the precision (inverse variance) of the log-scale biomarkers.
