Details

If we have \(k\) events, then we can estimate the calendar date \(t\) corresponding to the smallest date such that the number of events observed before \(t\) is equal to \(k\).

The occurrence() estimates these occurrences and gives the credible interval or the highest posterior density (HPD) region for a given level of confidence.

## Coerce to MCMC
eve <- as_events(mcmc_events, calendar = CE(), iteration = 1)
eve <- eve[1:10000, ]
