to.auteur: conversion of MCMC samples between auteur and coda

Description

converting MCMC samples between auteur and coda

Usage

to.auteur(obj, phy = NULL, ...)
to.coda(obj)

Arguments

obj

for to.auteur -- an object of class codaMCMCMC, mcmc.list, or an object exported to an rda file by auteur; for to.coda -- an object of class auteurMCMCMC or a list of objects individually of class auteurMCMC

phy

a phylogenetic tree of class 'phylo' against which to compile results; if NULL, the tree stored within the rda file is used

...

arguments (burnin and thin) to be passed to load.rjmcmc

Value

For to.auteur, an object of class auteurMCMCMC (given multiple runs) or auteurMCMC (given a single run) is returned; for to.coda, an object of class codaMCMCMC is returned.

Details

A coda format of run(s) is recommended for diagnostic purposes; for summarization, auteur formats are advised. For single chains, the format adopted by both auteur and coda is identical (an object of class mcmc). For a series of combined runs, formats differ between the auteur and coda packages: auteur requires an intercalated (single) matrix of values, whereas functions within coda expect the values to be concatenated into a list (of class mcmc.list). The function to.coda is used solely for pooling multiple runs into a format compatible with the coda package.
