as_draws.brma: Convert brma Objects to posterior Draws Formats

In RoBMA: Robust Bayesian Meta-Analyses

Convert brma Objects to posterior Draws Formats

Description

Provides an interface to the posterior package for brma objects. These functions convert the MCMC samples from a fitted brma model to various draws formats supported by the posterior package, enabling the use of posterior's rich set of diagnostics and summary functions.

Usage

as_draws(x, ...)

as_draws_array(x, ...)

as_draws_df(x, ...)

as_draws_list(x, ...)

as_draws_matrix(x, ...)

as_draws_rvars(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:

## Default S3 method:

## Default S3 method:

## Default S3 method:

Arguments

x	an object to convert. The brma methods expect a fitted brma object; default methods forward non-brma objects to the corresponding posterior conversion function.
...	additional arguments passed to the corresponding posterior function.

Details

These functions are S3 generics. Their default methods forward to the corresponding posterior generics so attaching RoBMA preserves the usual posterior behavior for non-brma objects.

The following conversion functions are available:

• as_draws: converts to the default draws format

• as_draws_array: converts to a 3-D array (iteration x chain x variable)

• as_draws_df: converts to a data frame with columns for iterations, chains, and variables

• as_draws_list: converts to a list of lists

• as_draws_matrix: converts to a 2-D matrix (draw x variable)

• as_draws_rvars: converts to random variable objects

These methods require the posterior package to be installed. For brma methods, conversion is performed by first extracting the MCMC samples as a mcmc.list object and then using the corresponding posterior conversion function. brma_samples objects have separate methods documented at as_draws.brma_samples.

Value

An object of the corresponding posterior draws class.
