Given an object of class RprobitB_fit, this function can:
change the length B of the burn-in period,
change the the thinning factor Q of the Gibbs samples,
change the utility scale.
## S3 method for class 'RprobitB_fit'transform( `_data`, B =NULL, Q =NULL, scale =NULL, check_preference_flip =TRUE,...)
Arguments
_data: An object of class RprobitB_fit.
B: The length of the burn-in period, i.e. a non-negative number of samples to be discarded.
Q: The thinning factor for the Gibbs samples, i.e. only every Qth sample is kept.
scale: A character which determines the utility scale. It is of the form <parameter> := <value>, where <parameter> is either the name of a fixed effect or Sigma_<j>,<j> for the <j>th diagonal element of Sigma, and <value> is the value of the fixed parameter.
check_preference_flip: Set to TRUE to check for flip in preferences after new scale.
...: Ignored.
Returns
The transformed RprobitB_fit object.
