window.mcmc
is a method for mcmc
objects which is
normally called by the generic function window
In addition to the generic parameters, start
and end
the additional parameter thin
may be used to thin out the
Markov chain. Setting thin=k selects every kth iteration starting
with the first. Note that the value of thin
is absolute
not relative. The value supplied given to the parameter thin
must be a multiple of thin(x)
.
Values of start
, end
and thin
which are inconsistent
with x
are ignored, but a warning message is issued.
