Pull parameters from an MCMC chain

Given an MCMC chain fit by RE_MCMC_fit, estimate the parameter values using a summary statistic applied to the posterior samples.

Usage

pull_summary_parameters(re_chains, summry_stat = stats::median)

Arguments

re_chains

output from RE_MCMC_fit consisting of a list of parameter chains, where each chain is a vector of posterior samples

summry_stat

the statistic used to summarize the posterior. Default is median, but can be mean or any other similar measure of the center.

Value

a list of parameter estimates
