rv (version 2.0.0)

as.rv.bugs: Coerce a bugs object into Random Variable Objects

Description

as.rv.bugs coerces an R2WinBUGS object to a list of rv objects or to a named rv object (vector).

as.rvsummary.bugs works similarly but coerces the resulting rv objects into rvsummary objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bugs':
as.rv(x, list.=TRUE, \dots)
  ## S3 method for class 'bugs':
as.rvsummary(x, list.=TRUE, \dots)

Arguments

x

a bugs (R2WinBUGS) object

list.

logical; return a list of rv objects instead of a single rv object (vector)?

...

(ignored)

Value

• If list.=TRUE, a named list of random vectors or a named random vector, otherwise a random vector. (Usually one would prefer a list.)f
