plot_pmf {countSTAR}

Plot the empirical and model-based probability mass functions

Description

Plot the empirical probability mass function, i.e., the proportion of data values y that equal j for each j=0,1,..., together with the model-based estimate of the probability mass function based on the posterior predictive distribution.

Usage

plot_pmf(y, post.pred, error.bars = FALSE, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

y

n x 1 vector of data

post.pred

nsave draws from the posterior predictive distribution of y

error.bars

logical; if TRUE, include errors bars on the model-based PMF

alpha

confidence level for the credible intervals

Value

A plot of the empirical PMF of y along with a PMF estimate from the model posterior predictive distribution
