postmode: Posterior Mode from an MCMC Sample

Description

Calculate the posterior mode from an MCMC sample for “fevd” objects.

Usage

postmode(x, burn.in = 499, verbose = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for fevd
postmode(x, burn.in = 499, verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class “fevd” where component method = “Bayesian”.

burn.in

The furst burn.in samples from the posterior distribution will be removed before calculation.

verbose

logical, should progress information be printed to the screen.

…

Not used.

Value

A named numeric vector is returned giving the paramter values.

Details

The log-likelihood and (log) prior is calculated for every sample from the chain, and added together, giving h. The parameters from the sample that yield the maximum value for h are returned. If more than one set of parameters yield a maximum, their average is returned.
