ggs_ppsd: Posterior predictive plot comparing the outcome standard...

In ggmcmc: Tools for Analyzing MCMC Simulations from Bayesian Inference

Description

Histogram with the distribution of the predicted posterior standard deviations, compared with the standard deviations of the observed outcome.

Usage

ggs_ppsd(D, outcome, family = NA, bins = 30)

Arguments

D	Data frame whith the simulations. Notice that only the posterior outcomes are needed, and so either the ggs() call limits the parameters to the outcomes or the user provides a family of parameters to limit it.
outcome	vector (or matrix or array) containing the observed outcome variable. Currently only a vector is supported.
family	Name of the family of parameters to plot, as given by a character vector or a regular expression. A family of parameters is considered to be any group of parameters with the same name but different numerical value between square brackets (as beta[1], beta[2], etc).
bins	integer indicating the total number of bins in which to divide the histogram. Defaults to 30, which is the same as geom_histogram()

Value

A ggplot object.
