mvgam (version 1.1.4)

mcmc_plot.mvgam: MCMC plots of mvgam parameters, as implemented in bayesplot

Description

Convenient way to call MCMC plotting functions implemented in the bayesplot package for mvgam models

Usage

# S3 method for mvgam
mcmc_plot(
  object,
  type = "intervals",
  variable = NULL,
  regex = FALSE,
  use_alias = TRUE,
  ...
)

Value

A ggplot object that can be further customized using the ggplot2 package.

Arguments

object

An R object typically of class brmsfit

type

The type of the plot. Supported types are (as names) hist, dens, hist_by_chain, dens_overlay, violin, intervals, areas, areas_ridges, combo, acf, acf_bar, trace, trace_highlight, scatter, hex, pairs, violin, rhat, rhat_hist, neff, neff_hist and nuts_energy. For an overview on the various plot types see MCMC-overview.

variable

Names of the variables (parameters) to plot, as given by a character vector or a regular expression (if regex = TRUE). By default, a hopefully not too large selection of variables is plotted.

regex

Logical; Indicates whether variable should be treated as regular expressions. Defaults to FALSE.

use_alias

Logical. If more informative names for parameters are available (i.e. for beta coefficients b or for smoothing parameters rho), replace the uninformative names with the more informative alias. Defaults to TRUE

...

Additional arguments passed to the plotting functions. See MCMC-overview for more details.

Examples

# \donttest{
simdat <- sim_mvgam(n_series = 1, trend_model = AR())
mod <- mvgam(y ~ s(season, bs = 'cc', k = 6),
             trend_model = AR(),
             noncentred = TRUE,
             data = simdat$data_train,
             chains = 2,
             silent = 2)
mcmc_plot(mod)
mcmc_plot(mod, type = 'neff_hist')
mcmc_plot(mod, variable = 'betas', type = 'areas')
mcmc_plot(mod, variable = 'trend_params', type = 'combo')
# }
