Description

This function defines the S3 BIC method for objects of class pvEBayes. It extracts the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) from a fitted model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'pvEBayes'
BIC(object, ...)

Arguments

object	a pvEBayes object, which is the output of the function pvEBayes or pvEBayes_tune.
...	other input parameters. Currently unused.

Value

numeric, BIC score for the resulting model.

fit <- pvEBayes(
  contin_table = statin2025_44, model = "general-gamma",
  alpha = 0.3, n_posterior_draws = NULL
)
