Description

Number of MCMC iterations

Usage

1
iterations(object)

Arguments

object

An object of class XdeParameter or XdeMcmc.

Details

For an object of class XdeParameter, iterations specifies the total number of MCMC iterations. Note that by setting the thin parameter to a value greater than 1, the number of MCMC iterations will be greater than the number of saved MCMC iterations (saved iterations = iterations / thin).

For an object of class XdeMcmc (a class that stores output from the MCMC), iterations specifies the number of iterations that were saved.

The replacement method is only defined for the XdeParameter class. The class XdeMcmc is meant to reflect the information in an already run chain, whereas XdeParameter is a class for parameterizing the Bayesian model that has not yet been fit.

Value

An integer
