check_Rhat

Returns the mean number of <code>Rhat</code> values for each parameter (by each parameter)
that are less than a specified threshold criterion.
<code>Rhat</code> (Gelman-Rubin Convergence Diagnostic, or Potential Scale Reduction Factor)
is calculated within 'JAGS', and is
commonly used as a measure of convergence for a given parameter node. Values close
to 1 are seen as evidence of adequate convergence.

Tools are provided to streamline Bayesian analyses in 'JAGS' using
the 'jagsUI' package. Included are functions for extracting output in
simpler format, functions for streamlining assessment of convergence, and
functions for producing summary plots of output. Also included is a
function that provides a simple template for running 'JAGS' from 'R'.
