Summary of a Prediction of the Total Fertility Rate

Country-specific summary of an object of class bayesTFR.prediction, created using the function tfr.predict. The summary contains the mean, standard deviation and several commonly used quantiles of the simulated trajectories. 1.1

## S3 method for class 'bayesTFR.prediction'

## Not run:

sim.dir <- file.path(find.package("bayesTFR"), "ex-data", "bayesTFR.output")
pred <- tfr.predict(sim.dir=sim.dir, 
                    output.dir=file.path(getwd(), "exampleTFRpred"), 
                    use.tfr3=FALSE, burnin=15, verbose=TRUE)
# If the above function was run previously, do
# pred <- get.tfr.prediction(sim.dir=file.path(getwd(), "exampleTFRpred"))
