This functions reads samples from OpenBUGS and converts the results into an object of class mcmc.list that can directly be used by package coda for further analysis.
buildMCMC(node, beg = samplesGetBeg(), end = samplesGetEnd(),
firstChain = samplesGetFirstChain(),
lastChain = samplesGetLastChain(), thin = samplesGetThin())An object of class mcmc.list which is a list containing mcmc objects.
Character vector of length 1, name of a variable in the model.
Arguments to select a slice of monitored values corresponding to iterations beg:end.
Arguments to select a sub group of chains.
To only use every thin-th value of the stored sample.
If the variable of interest is an array, slices of the array can be selected using the notation
variable[lower0:upper0, lower1:upper1, ...].
A star ‘*’ can be entered as shorthand for all the stored samples.
If the arguments are left at their defaults the whole sample for all chains will be used for calculation.
