Description

Extracts posterior samples from a fitted model, combining all parameters into a single data.table with dates and metadata.

Usage

get_samples(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'estimate_infections'
get_samples(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'estimate_truncation'
get_samples(object, ...)

Arguments

object	A fitted model object (e.g., from estimate_infections())
...	Additional arguments (currently unused)

Value

A data.table with columns: date, variable, strat, sample, time, value, type. Contains all posterior samples for all parameters.
