bayesplot (version 1.7.2)

example-data: Example draws to use in demonstrations and tests

Description

These functions return various objects containing data used in the examples throughout the bayesplot package documentation.

Usage

example_mcmc_draws(chains = 4, params = 4)
example_yrep_draws()
example_y_data()
example_x_data()
example_group_data()

Arguments

chains

An integer between 1 and 4 indicating the desired number of chains.

params

An integer between 1 and 6 indicating the desired number of parameters.

Value

See Details.

Details

Each of these functions returns an object containing data, parameter draws, or predictions corresponding to a basic linear regression model with data y (outcome vector) and X (predictor matrix), and parameters alpha (intercept), beta (coefficient vector), and sigma (error sd).

example_mcmc_draws()

If chains > 1, a 250 (iterations) by chains by params array or, if chains = 1, a 250 by params matrix of MCMC draws from the posterior distribution of the parameters in the linear regression model described above. If params = 1 then only the draws for alpha are included in the returned object. If params >= 2 then draws for sigma are also included. And if params is between 3 and the maximum of 6 then draws for regression coefficients beta[k] (k in 1:(params-2)) are also included.

example_y_data()

A numeric vector with 434 observations of the outcome variable in the linear regression model.

example_x_data()

A numeric vector with 434 observations of one of the predictor variables in the linear regression model.

example_group_data()

A factor variable with 434 observations of a grouping variable with two levels.

example_yrep_draws()

A 500 (draws) by 434 (data points) matrix of draws from the posterior predictive distribution. Each row represents a full dataset drawn from the posterior predictive distribution of the outcome y after fitting the linear regression model mentioned above.
