| link.up.posteriors {BEDASSLE} | R Documentation |
Links up multiple MCMC output objects
Description
Creates a single MCMC output object that links together the output from 2 different runs. To be used when analyses are run serially on a single dataset, with subsequent runs initiated at the parameter values estimated in the last generation of the previous MCMC run.
Usage
link.up.posteriors(MCMC.output1, MCMC.output2, linked.up.output.file.name)
Arguments
MCMC.output1 |
The first (chronologically) MCMC output to be incorporated into the linked-up output object. |
MCMC.output2 |
The second (chronologically) MCMC output to be incorporated into the linked-up output object. |
linked.up.output.file.name |
The linked-up MCMC object file name. The suffix ".Robj" will be appended to the user-specified name. |
Details
Acceptance rates are re-calculated to be consistent across the new, larger MCMC object. The function is also flexible with respect to the model parameterization (e.g. - it will recognize, for example, whether users have specified the standard or beta-binomial models, or whether users have specified one, or more than one, alphaE parameters).
