chain.read

R Documentation

Manage MCMC cache.

These functions read and write to cache files for storing long MCMC outputs from model functions, such as solar.model or satellite.model.

chain.read(filename)
chain.dim(filename)
chain.write(filename, A, append = FALSE)

`filename`	cache file for model chain
`A`	chain array
`append`	append to existing file or overwrite?

chain.read returns the actual array of MCMC samples from an archived file

chain.dim reports the dimensions of the archived file

chain.write writes an array of MCMC samples to an archive file
