final.values.mcmc: Values of the last iteration for each chain

Description

This function gives the values of the last iteration for each chain. This is useful for assign the initial values from new MCMC models.

Usage

final.values.mcmc(mcmclist, ...)

Arguments

mcmclist

A mcmc.2pnob or mcmc.3pnob class object.

...

Further arguments.

Value

A list with the last values simulated from a mcmc.2pnob or mcmc.3pnob class object.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# data for model
data("MathTest")

# Only for the first 500 examinees of the data MathTest
# Two-Parameter Normal Ogive Model
model2 <- mcmc.2pnob(MathTest[1:500,], iter = 100, burning = 0)

# continue the  MCMC for the Two-Parameter Normal Ogive Model
initialValues2 <- final.values.mcmc(model2)
model121 <- mcmc.2pnob(MathTest[1:500,], initial.value = initialValues2,
iter = 100, burning = 0)

# }
# NOT RUN {
# For all examinees of the data MathTest
# Three-Parameter Normal Ogive Model
model3 <- mcmc.3pnob(MathTest, iter = 3500, burning = 500)

# continue the  MCMC for the Three-Parameter Normal Ogive Model

model131 <- mcmc.3pnob(MathTest, initial.value = initialValues3,
iter = 3000, burning = 0)
