comparepriors {jagshelper}

Compare Priors

Description

Side-by-side kernel density plots for all parameters with parameter names ending in "_prior", and corresponding parameters without. It should be noted that these parameters must be specified in JAGS as well as the corresponding parameters, and this is left to the user.

This function is a wrapper of comparedens.

Kernel densities are plotted vertically, either left- or right-facing. Parameters with the same name are plotted facing one another.

Usage

comparepriors(x, parmfrow = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

Output object returned from jagsUI::jags()

parmfrow

Optional call to par(mfrow) for the number of rows & columns of plot window. Returns the graphics device to previous state afterward.

...

additional arguments to comparedens
