The posterior_interval
function computes Bayesian posterior uncertainty
intervals. These intervals are often referred to as credible
intervals, for more details see rstanarm
posterior_interval(mat, prob = 0.9, ...)
a matrix containing the posterior samples of a fitted parameter
A number \(p \in (0,1)\) indicating the desired
probability mass to include in the intervals. The default is to report
90%
intervals (prob=0.9
) rather than the traditionally used
95%
.
Further arguments passed to posterior_intervals
.
A matrix with two columns and as many rows as model parameters (or
the subset of parameters specified by pars
and/or
regex_pars
). For a given value of prob
, \(p\), the columns
correspond to the lower and upper 100*p%
interval limits and have the
names \(100\alpha/2\) and \(100(1 - \alpha/2)\)%
, where \(\alpha
= 1-p\). For example, if prob=0.9
is specified (a 90%
interval), then the column names will be "5%"
and "95%"
,
respectively.
