In jagshelper: Extracting and Visualizing Output from 'jagsUI'

Subset from posterior data.frame

Description

Extracts a subset vector or data.frame from a data.frame consisting of more columns, such that column names match a name given in the ⁠p=⁠ argument. This may be useful in creating smaller objects consisting of MCMC samples.

Usage

pull_post(x, p = NULL, exact = FALSE)

Arguments

x	Posterior data.frame
p	String to begin posterior names. If NULL is used, all parameters will be returned.
exact	Whether name must be an exact match (TRUE) or with initial sub-string matching only supplied characters (FALSE). Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A data.frame with a column associated with each (subsetted) parameter and a row associated with each MCMC iteration.
