make.continuing.params {BEDASSLE}

Generates an R object containing the last parameter values of an MCMC run (to be used for a subsequent run)

Description

This function creates an R object that contains the parameter values read from the last generation of a previous MCMC run. This R object can then be used to initiate a subsequent analysis, effectively creating a single long chain. [A single MCMC object from both runs can be created using the function link.up.posteriors].

Usage

make.continuing.params(MCMC.output, file.name)

Arguments

MCMC.output

The standard MCMC output file generated from a BEDASSLE run.

file.name

The user-defined name assigned to the R object of parameters to be used in continuing analysis.
