Get in a single tidy dataframe the results of the formal (non-visual) convergence analysis. Namely, the Geweke diagnostic (z, from ggs_geweke()), the Potential Scale Reduction Factor Rhat (Rhat, from ggs_Rhat()) and the number of effective independent draws (Effective, from ggs_effective()).
ggs_diagnostics(
D,
family = NA,
version_rhat = "BDA2",
version_effective = "spectral",
proportion = TRUE
)
Data frame whith the simulations
Name of the family of parameters to return, as given by a character vector or a regular expression. A family of parameters is considered to be any group of parameters with the same name but different numerical value between square brackets (as beta[1], beta[2], etc).
Character variable with the name of the version of the potential scale reduction factor to use. Defaults to "BDA2", which refers to the second version of _Bayesian Data Analysis_ (Gelman, Carlin, Stern and Rubin). The other available version is "BG98", which refers to Brooks & Gelman (1998) and is the one used in the "coda" package.
Character variable with the name of the version of the calculation to use. Defaults to "spectral", which refers to the simple version estimating the spectral density at frequency zero used in the "coda" package. An alternative version "BDA3" is provided, which refers to the third edition of Bayesian Data Analysis (Gelman, Carlin, Stern, Dunson, Vehtari and Rubin).
Logical value whether to return the proportion of effective independent draws over the total (the default) or the number.
A tidy
dataframe.
Notice that at least two chains are required. Otherwise, only the Geweke diagnostic makes sense, and can be returned with its own function.
