| read.coda {coda} | R Documentation |
read.coda reads Markov Chain Monte Carlo output in
the CODA format produced by WinBUGS and JAGS. By default, all
of the data in the file is read, but the arguments start,
end and thin may be used to read a subset of the
data. If the arguments given to start, end or
thin are incompatible with the data, they are ignored.
read.coda(file, start, end, thin, quiet=FALSE) read.bugs(file = "bugs.out", start, end, thin, quiet=FALSE) read.jags(file = "jags.out", start, end, thin, quiet=FALSE)
file |
the name of the file from which the data are to be read. The extension ".out" may be omitted. The data must be in the format produced by the BUGS program, and there must be a corresponding ".ind" file |
start |
First iteration of chain |
end |
Last iteration of chain |
thin |
Thinning interval for chain |
quiet |
Logical flag. If true, a progress summary will be printed |
An object of class mcmc containing a representation of
the data in the file.
