samplesCoda: Writing files in CODA format

Description

This function writes files in CODA format to be processed or imported, e.g, by some other software.

Usage

samplesCoda(node, stem, beg = samplesGetBeg(), 
    end = samplesGetEnd(), firstChain = samplesGetFirstChain(), 
    lastChain = samplesGetLastChain(), thin = samplesGetThin())

Arguments

node
Character vector of length 1, name of a variable in the model.
stem
The filestem of the CODA files to be generated. See details.
beg, end
Arguments to select a slice of monitored values corresponding to iterations beg:end.
firstChain, lastChain
Arguments to select a sub group of chains.
thin

Value

  • Prints CODA files written.

concept

  • coda
  • sample

Details

Example for argument stem: If stem = "c:/myFolder/foo", the resulting files are called fooCODAchain1.txt, ..., fooCODAchainN.txt, and fooCODAindex.txt. They are written into the tempdir() and copied to the path "c:/myFolder". If the variable of interest is an array, slices of the array can be selected using the notation variable[lower0:upper0, lower1:upper1, ...]. If the arguments are left at their defaults the whole sample for all chains will be used for output.
