A stanreg, stanfit, or brmsfit object.
Currently not used.
Should results for fixed effects, random effects or both be returned? Only applies to mixed models. May be abbreviated.
Should results for all parameters, parameters for the conditional model or the zero-inflated part of the model be returned? May be abbreviated. Only applies to brms-models.
Regular expression pattern that describes the parameters that
should be returned. Meta-parameters (like lp__ or prior_) are
filtered by default, so only parameters that typically appear in the
summary() are returned. Use parameters to select specific parameters
for the output.
A data frame with two columns: Parameter name and effective sample size (ESS).
Effective Sample (ESS) should be as large as possible, altough for most applications, an effective sample size greater than 1,000 is sufficient for stable estimates (B<U+00FC>rkner, 2017). The ESS corresponds to the number of independent samples with the same estimation power as the N autocorrelated samples. It is is a measure of “how much independent information there is in autocorrelated chains” (Kruschke 2015, p182-3).
