interpret_ess: Interpret Bayesian Diagnostic Indices
Description
Interpretation of Bayesian diagnostic indices, such as Effective Sample Size (ESS) and Rhat.
Usage
interpret_ess(ess, rules = "burkner2017")
interpret_rhat(rhat, rules = "vehtari2019")
Arguments
ess
Value or vector of Effective Sample Size (ESS) values.
rules
A character string (see Rules) or a custom set of rules().
rhat
Value or vector of Rhat values.
Rules
ESS
Bürkner, P. C. (2017) ("burkner2017"; default)
ESS < 1000 - Insufficient
ESS >= 1000 - Sufficient
Rhat
Vehtari et al. (2019) ("vehtari2019"; default)
Rhat < 1.01 - Converged
Rhat >= 1.01 - Failed
Gelman & Rubin (1992) ("gelman1992")
