autojags {R2jags}

Function for auto-updating ‘JAGS’ until the model converges

Description

The autojags takes a rjags object as input. autojags will update the model until it converges.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'rjags'
update(object, n.iter=1000, n.thin=1,
                      refresh=n.iter/50, progress.bar = "text", ...)
autojags(object, n.iter=1000, n.thin=1, Rhat=1.1, n.update=2,
      refresh=n.iter/50, progress.bar = "text", ...)

Arguments

object

an object of rjags class.

n.iter

number of total iterations per chain, default=1000

n.thin

thinning rate. Must be a positive integer, default=1

...

further arguments pass to or from other methods.

Rhat

converegence criterion, default=1.1.

n.update

the max number of updates, default=2.

refresh

refresh frequency for progress bar, default is n.iter/50

progress.bar

type of progress bar. Possible values are “text”, “gui”, and “none”. Type “text” is displayed on the R console. Type “gui” is a graphical progress bar in a new window. The progress bar is suppressed if progress.bar is “none”
