PhasePlot: Plot of the marginal posterior densities of a phase

Description

This function draws the marginal posterior densities of the beginning and the end of a phase

Usage

PhasePlot(PhaseBeginning_chain, PhaseEnd_chain, level = 0.95,
  title = "Phase marginal posterior densities", colors = T,
  GridLength = 1024)

Arguments

PhaseBeginning_chain

numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the beginning of the phase

PhaseEnd_chain

numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the end of the phase

level

probability corresponding to the level of confidence used for the credible interval and the time range

title

title of the graph

colors

if TRUE -> use of colors in the graph

GridLength

length of the grid used to estimate the density

Value

• A plot with the marginal posterior densities of the beginning and the end of a phase and adds several summary statistics (mean, Credible interval, Time range)

Examples

data(Phases); attach(Phases)

  PhasePlot(Phase.1.alpha, Phase.1.beta, 0.95, "Densities of Phase 1")
  PhasePlot(Phase.2.alpha, Phase.2.beta, 0.95, "Densities of Phase 2",colors = FALSE)
