calculate_dic function

Calculate DIC function. Has two arguments: (1) log full likelihood at thetahat and (2) vector of log-likelihood at the theta samples Calculate the DIC criteria values

calculate_dic(loglikatthetahat, logliks)

Arguments

• loglikatthetahat: Log of the likelihood function at theta hat (Bayes). It is a scalar value.
• logliks: A vector of log likelihood values at the theta samples

Returns

a list containing four values pdic, pdicalt, dic and dicalt
