summary(object,...)

Arguments

object	a fitted meta4diag object as produced by meta4diag().
...	other arguments may be useful.

Posterior mean and standard deviation (together with quantiles) are printed for the fixed effects in the model.

For the random effects the function summary() prints the posterior mean and standard deviations of the hyperparameters.

Value

summary.meta4diag returns a list with components:

cpu.used	The cpu time used to fit the corresponding model and data.
summary.fixed	The posterior mean and standard deviation (together with quantiles) for the fixed effects.
summary.expected.g	The posterior mean and standard deviation (together with quantiles) for the summarized fixed effects.
summary.hyperpar	The posterior mean and standard deviation (together with quantiles) for model hyperparameters.
mlik	The marginal log-likelihood of the model.
var.type	The variables type used in the plot() function.
