get.total.iterations: Total Number of Iterations

Description

Function get.total.iterations gives the total number of iterations of MCMCs summed over chains whith burnin being subtracted from each chain. Function get.stored.mcmc.length gives the total length of the MCMCs stored on disk minus those iterations that correspond to burnin. Result of the latter will be different from the former only if the MCMCs were run with value of thin larger than one.

Usage

get.total.iterations(mcmc.list, burnin = 0)
get.stored.mcmc.length(mcmc.list, burnin = 0)

Value

A single number.

mcmc.set <- get.tfr.mcmc(sim.dir=sim.dir)
get.total.iterations(mcmc.set$mcmc.list) # 150=3x50

get.stored.mcmc.length(m$mcmc.list) # 6=2x3
