spread_draws function

Spread MCMC chain draws to data.frame on a wide format

Useful to convert MCMC chain draws of particular parameters or output from the model object to a wide format for further data wrangling

spread_draws(mod, ..., transformed = FALSE)

Arguments

• mod: an object of class "plm0","plm","gplm0" or "gplm".
• ...: any number of character vectors containing valid names of parameters in the model or "rating_curve" and "rating_curve_mean". Also accepts "latent_parameters" and "hyperparameters".
• transformed: boolean value determining whether the output is to be represented on the transformed scale used for sampling in the MCMC chain or the original scale. Defaults to FALSE.

Returns

Data frame with columns chain

iter

param

value

Examples

data(krokfors)
set.seed(1)
plm0.fit <- plm0(formula=Q~W,data=krokfors,num_cores=2)
hyp_samples <- spread_draws(plm0.fit,'hyperparameters')
head(hyp_samples)
rating_curve_samples <- spread_draws(plm0.fit,'rating_curve','rating_curve_mean')
head(rating_curve_samples)
