summary.warn: Summaries of posterior weaning parameters

In WARN: Weaning Age Reconstruction with Nitrogen Isotope Analysis

Summaries of posterior weaning parameters

Description

summary.warn calculates simple summaries of posterior samples for the four weaning parameters, which is the maximum density estimators and its marginal probabilities, a joint probability for the combination of the maximum density weaning ages, mean squared distance between the measured and modeled nitrogen isotope ratio (d15N), number of non-adult individuals used, and number of particles used in sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampling.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'warn'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object	an object of class "warn" generated by warn.
...	additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

summary.warn returns a list containing following components and those succeeded from "warn":

call	the matched call.
mde	the maximum density estimators and the marginal probabilities.
prob.2d.age	the joint probability for the combination of the maximum density weaning ages.
dist.mde	the mean squared distance between the measured and modeled d15Ns.
individual	the number of non-adult individuals used.
particle	the number of particles used in SMC sampling.
