In noncomplyR: Bayesian Analysis of Randomized Experiments with Non-Compliance

Description

summarize_chain provides posterior summaries based off a sample from the posterior distribution.

Usage

summarize_chain(chain, digits = 3)

Arguments

chain	a numeric vector containing the samples from the posterior distribution.
digits	the number of decimal places

Value

a list containing the posterior mean, median, and quantile-based credible intervals calculated from the values in the chain.
