mcmc_parnames: Create paramter names for flattened parameters
In jrnold/mcmcdb: MCMC sample database classes

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Given a parameter name and a matrix of index values, generate names for the unlisted parameters.

mcmc_parnames_bugs: Writes BUGS/JAGS style flat parameter names, e.g. "alpha[1,2]"

mcmc_parnames_stan: Writes Stan style flat parameter names, e.g. "alpha.1.2"

mcmc_parnames_underscore: Writes parameter names with indexes seperated by underscores, e.g. "alpha_1_2"

mcmc_parnames_pattern: Writes parameter names with arbitrary patterns.

  mcmc_parnames_pattern(x, d, pre = ".", sep = ".",
    post = "", colmajor = TRUE)

  mcmc_parnames_stan(x, d, colmajor = TRUE)

  mcmc_parnames_bugs(x, d, colmajor = TRUE)

  mcmc_parnames_underscore(x, d, colmajor = TRUE)

`x`	`character` Parameter name.
`d`	`integer` Dimension of the array.
`pre`	`character` String to put before indices.
`sep`	`character` String used to seperate indices.
`post`	`character` String to put after indices.
`colmajor`	`logical`. If `TRUE`, then indices are in column-major order (R's default), else row-major.

character vector of flat parameter names.

mcmc_parnames_bugs("alpha", c(1, 2))
mcmc_parnames_stan("alpha", c(1, 2))
mcmc_parnames_underscore("alpha", c(1, 2))
mcmc_parnames_pattern("alpha", c(1, 2), "<", ";", ">")
