modelSetAP {BRugs}R Documentation

Changing settings of updating algorithms

Description

These functions change adaptivePhase, iterations, and overRelaxation settings.

Usage

modelSetAP(factoryName, adaptivePhase)
modelSetIts(factoryName, iterations)
modelSetOR(factoryName, overRelaxation)

Arguments

factoryName String defining which particular MCMC updating algorithm is to be tuned. Technically this string is the type name of the factory object used to create the updater, for example ‘UpdaterMetnormal.Factory’ for the random walk metropolis sampler.
adaptivePhase length of the updater's adaptive phase
iterations number of times an iterative algorithm is run before a failure is reported
overRelaxation amount of over relaxation the updater uses

Details

Once a model has been compiled, the various updating algorithms required in order to perform the MCMC simulation may be ‘tuned’ somewhat via these three functions.
