MAP: calculates the Maxiumum APosteriori value (MAP)
Description
calculates the Maxiumum APosteriori value (MAP)
Usage
MAP(bayesianOutput, ...)
Arguments
bayesianOutput
an object of class BayesianOutput (mcmcSampler, smcSampler, or mcmcList)
...
optional values to be passed on the the getSample function
Details
Currently, this function simply returns the parameter combination with the highest posterior in the chain. A more refined option would be to take the MCMC sample and do additional calculations, e.g. use an optimizer, a kerne delnsity estimator, or some other tool to search / interpolate around the best value in the chain
