logMargDenNR: Compute Log Marginal Density Using Newton-Raftery Approx
Description
logMargDenNR computes log marginal density using the Newton-Raftery approximation.
Note: this approximation can be influenced by outliers in the vector of log-likelihoods. Use
with care .
Usage
logMargDenNR(ll)
Arguments
ll
vector of log-likelihoods evaluated at length(ll) MCMC draws
Value
approximation to log marginal density value.
concept
Newton-Raftery approximation
bayes
marginal likelihood
density
Warning
This routine is a utility routine that does not check the
input arguments for proper dimensions and type.
