contourProb function

Contour Probability

Calculation of a contour probability (possible Bayesian counterpart of a p-value) based on the MCMC posterior sample for a univariate parameter corresponding to the equal-tail credible interval.

For details, see Bogaerts, Komárek and Lesaffre (201X, Sec. 9.1.4.2).

contourProb(sample, theta0 = 0)

Arguments

• sample: a numeric vector with the MCMC sample from the posterior distribution of a univariate parameter.
• theta0: a value of the parameter to which the contour probability is to be related.

Returns

A value of the contour probability.
