merge_chains {posterior}

Merge chains of draws objects

Description

Merge chains of draws objects into a single chain. Some operations will trigger an automatic merging of chains, for example, because chains do not match between two objects involved in a binary operation. By default, no warning will be issued when this happens but you can activate one via options(posterior.warn_on_merge_chains = TRUE).

Usage

merge_chains(x, ...)

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

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

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

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

## S3 method for class 'rvar'
merge_chains(x, ...)

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

Arguments

x

(draws) A draws object or another R object for which the method is defined.

...

Arguments passed to individual methods (if applicable).

Value

A draws object of the same class as x.

Examples

x <- example_draws()

# draws_array with 4 chains, 100 iters each
str(x)

# draws_array with 1 chain of 400 iterations
str(merge_chains(x))
