transformedParameters {TreeBUGS}

Get Transformed Parameters

Description

Computes transformations of MPT parameters based on the MCMC posterior samples (e.g., differences of parameters).

Usage

transformedParameters(
  fittedModel,
  transformedParameters,
  level = "group",
  nCPU = 4
)

Arguments

fittedModel

either a fitted latent-trait or beta MPT model (traitMPT, betaMPT) or an mcmc.list.

transformedParameters

list with parameter transformations that should be computed based on the posterior samples (e.g., for testing parameter differences: list("diffD=Do-Dn")).

level

whether to compute transformations of "group" or "individual" estimates

nCPU

number of CPU cores across which the MCMC chains are distributed

Value

an mcmc.list of posterior samples for the transformed parameters

Examples

## Not run: 
tt <- transformedParameters(fittedModel,
  list("diff = a-b", "p = a>b"),
  level = "individual"
)
summary(tt)

## End(Not run)
