set_n_draw: Specify Number of Draws from Prior or Posterior Distribution

Description

Specify the number of draws from the posterior distribution to be used in model output. A newly-created bage_mod object has an n_draw value of 1000. Higher values may be appropriate for characterizing the tails of distributions, or for publication-quality graphics and summaries.

Usage

set_n_draw(mod, n_draw = 1000L)

Value

A bage_mod object

Arguments

mod

An object of class "bage_mod", created with mod_pois(), mod_binom(), or mod_norm().

n_draw

Number of draws.

Details

If the new value for n_draw is greater than the old value, and the model has already been fitted, then the model is unfitted, and function fit() may need to be called again.
