Bchronconvergecheck {Bchron} | R Documentation |
Allows convergence checking of both BchronMCMC
and Bchroncalibrate
output. Uses the
Geweke convergence diagnostic from the coda package.
Bchronconvergecheck(Bchrondata, dates = FALSE)
Bchrondata |
A Bchron data object with fields for the the input and output files, the name of the core being used, the details of the calibration curve, and details of the model run required.
See Bchronload and Bchronmenu for more details.

dates |
if true, checks the individually calibrated dates for convergence. Otherwise checks the parameter set from a run of BchronMCMC .
|
Uses the package coda
Geweke diagnostic to perform a convergence check on a single MCMC chain. Note that this is not the only method of convergence checking. Also provides some
context for how well the model appears to have converged.
