traceplot.bmeta: Traceplot to assess convergence

Description

Function to display a plot of iteration vs. sample values for each variable in the chain

Usage

traceplot.bmeta(x,node,title="",lab="")

Arguments

x

a bmeta object with results of the model

node

variable to be displayed on the traceplot

title

title of the plot if specified

lab

name of the variable to be displayed on the traceplot

Examples

### Read and format the data (binary)
data = read.csv(url("http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/bmeta/Data-bin.csv"))

### List data for binary outcome 
data.list <- list(y0=data$y0,y1=data$y1,n0=data$n0,n1=data$n1) 

### Select random-effects meta-analysis with t-distribution prior for binary
### data
x <- bmeta(data.list, outcome="bin", model="std.dt", type="ran")


### using output from bmeta to produce traceplot for a specific node
traceplot.bmeta(x,"mu")

### using output from bmeta to produce traceplot and specify the node used
traceplot.bmeta(x,"mu",lab="mu")
