jags.object {rjags}R Documentation

Functions for manipulating jags model objects

Description

A jags object represents a Bayesian graphical model described using the BUGS language.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'jags':
coef(object, chain=1, ...)
## S3 method for class 'jags':
variable.names(object, ...)
list.samplers(object)

Arguments

object a jags model object
chain chain number to query
... additional arguments to the call (ignored)

Value

The coef function returns a list with an entry for each Node array that contains an unobserved Node. Elements corresponding to observed Nodes or deterministic Nodes are given missing values.
The variable.names function returns a character vector of names of node arrays used in the model.
The list.samplers returns a named list with an entry for each Sampler used by the model. Each element of the list is a character vector containing the names of stochastic Nodes that are updated together in a block at each iteration. The names of the list elements indicate the sampling methods that are used to update each block of Nodes.
