draws_matrix {posterior}

The draws_matrix format

Description

The as_draws_matrix() methods convert objects to the draws_matrix format. The draws_matrix() function creates an object of the draws_matrix format based on a set of numeric vectors. See Details.

Usage

as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'draws_matrix'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'draws_array'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'draws_df'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'draws_list'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'draws_rvars'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mcmc'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mcmc.list'
as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

draws_matrix(..., .nchains = 1)

is_draws_matrix(x)

Arguments

x

An object to convert to a draws_matrix object.

...

For as_draws_matrix(): Arguments passed to individual methods (if applicable). For draws_matrix(): Named arguments containing numeric vectors each defining a separate variable.

.nchains

(positive integer) The number of chains. The default is 1.

Details

Objects of class "draws_matrix" are matrices (2-D arrays) with dimensions "draw" and "variable". See Examples.

Value

A draws_matrix object, which has classes c("draws_matrix", "draws", "matrix").

class(x1)
print(x1)
str(x1)

x2 <- draws_matrix(a = rnorm(10), b = rnorm(10), c = 1)
class(x2)
print(x2)
