set.run.list: Create a List of Parameters For MCMC Procedure

In predsci/DICE: DICE: Dynamics of Interacting Community Epidemics

Description

Pack various parameters related to the MCMC procedure and plotting into a single list. These include: The number of MCMC chains, the number of MCMC steps in each chain, the number of instances saved for each chain and the device name for plotting the results.

Usage

set.run.list(nreal = 1, nMCMC = 1e+05, nlines = NULL, device = "pdf",
  subDir = "output", plot = 1)

Arguments

nreal	Integer - The number of MCMC chains (default is 1)
nMCMC	Integer - the number of steps in each MCMC chain (default is 1e5)
nlines	Integer - the number of instances saved for the history of the chain (default is to save every 100 steps and not to exceed 1e4)
device	String - the device name for plotting. Default is 'pdf' but we also support 'png'
subDir	String - the sub-directory name for all output files of the run. Default it 'output'
plot	Character - TRUE, FALSE or EXTERNAL allows users to use their own plotting routines for the results (can also use 0, 1 and 2)

Value

A list packed with these parameters

Examples

set.run.list{nreal = 1, nMCMC = 1e+05, nlines = 1e3, device = 'pdf'}
set.run.list{nreal = 3, nMCMC = 5e+06, nlines = 1e4, device = 'pdf'}
