The function object.coda create a mcmc.list object. With this is possible to study the chain using the coda packet.
# S3 method for default
object.coda(mcmclist, ...)A mcmc.2pnob or mcmc.3pnob class object.
Further arguments.
A mcmc.list coda packet object.
The function object.coda create a mcmc.list object of the marginal chain selectionated. The marginal chain is splited in subchains determined by parts. The aim is represent parallel chains with different starting values (Beguin & Glas, 2001, p. 547).
