AM_extract: Extract values within a 'AM_mcmc_output' object

In AntMAN: Anthology of Mixture Analysis Tools

Description

Given an AM_mcmc_output object, as well as the target variable names, AM_extract will return a list of the variables of interest.

Usage

AM_extract(object, targets, iterations = NULL, debug = FALSE)

Arguments

object	an AM_mcmc_output object.
targets	List of variables to extract (ie. K, M, mu).
iterations	Can specify particular iterations to extracts, NULL for all.
debug	Activate log to.

Details

Due to the complexity of AntMAN outputs, AM_mcmc_output object can be difficult to handle. The AM_extract function eases access of particular variables within the AM_mcmc_output object. Variables of varying dimension are expected to result from the transdimensional moves. When considering such variables, the extracted list would correspond to an nx1 list, where n refers to the number of extracted iterations. Each of these nx1 entries consists of another list of dimension mx1, where m specifies the number of components inferred for that iteration.

Value

a list of variables specified in targets.
