pimax: Monte Carlo approximation of a probit posterior marginal

Description

This function represents the variability of a Monte Carlo approximation to the posterior distribution of the intercept of a probit model. The data used in this example is the Pima indian Pima.tr dataset. The function produces three plots, the top one being based on a single simulated sample for all values of the intercept along with the Monte Carlo variability estimated by 100 repeated calls, the medium one being based on iid simulated samples for for all values of the intercept along with the corresponding Monte Carlo variability and the bottom one being obtained by numerical integration.

Usage

pimax(Nsim = 10^3)

Arguments

Nsim
Number of simulations in all Monte Carlo experiments

Value

Return three plots
