extract_history_parameter function

Extracts a history parameter as a matrix

Extracts a history parameter as a matrix with samplesN rows and randomN (found in object$data$randomN) columns.

extract_history_parameter(
  object,
  param_name,
  samplesN = NULL,
  link_function = NULL
)

Arguments

• object: A cumhist object
• param_name: String, a name of the parameter
• samplesN: Number of samples, if NULL is computed from rstan (but it is cheaper to do this once).
• link_function: A link function to use (exp or inv.logit) or NULL for identity.

Returns

Matrix with samplesN rows and randomN (found in object$data$randomN) columns

Examples

br_fit <- fit_cumhist(br_singleblock, state="State", duration="Duration")
extract_history_parameter(br_fit, "tau", link_function = exp)
