traceplot.cat_bayes

This function generates a traceplot for the Bayesian sampling model fitted
using <code>rstan</code>. It utilizes the <code>traceplot</code> function from the <code>rstan</code> package
to visualize the sampling progress and convergence of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) chains
for the given model.

To improve estimation accuracy and stability in statistical modeling, catalytic prior distributions are employed, integrating observed data with synthetic data generated from a simpler model's predictive distribution. This approach enhances model robustness, stability, and flexibility in complex data scenarios. The catalytic prior distributions are introduced by 'Huang et al.' (2020, <doi:10.1073/pnas.1920913117>), Li and Huang (2023, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.01411>).

traceplot.cat_bayes function

<dl><dt>object</dt>
<dd>A fitted model object of class <code>cat_bayes</code> that contains
the Stan sampling model. The object should include the <code>stan_sample_model</code>,
which is the result of fitting the model using the <code>rstan</code> package.</dd>
