boa.chain {boa} | R Documentation |
Extracts and sets the MCMC sequence(s) stored internally for use during a BOA session. Users can safely use this function to extract data. However, it should not be called directly to modify the stored MCMC sequence(s). Instead, data management should accomplished with the libboa.chain functions.
boa.chain(...)

A list may be given as the only argument, or a character string
given as the only argument, or any number of arguments may be in the
<name> = <value> form, or no argument at all may be given. See the
Value and Side Effects sections for further details. |
If no arguments are supplied, a list of the current values is returned. If a character string is given, the current value of the named variable is returned. Otherwise, no values are returned.
boa.chain.subset
or
boa.chain.collapse
. While work.sync = F
, only the master
list will be updated if MCMC sequences are added or deleted. A call to
boa.chain.reset
will reset this variable to T and copy the master
list to the working list.
When variables are set, boa.chain() modifies the internal list .boa.chain
.
If boa.chain() is called with either a list as the single argument, or with one
or more arguments in the <name> = <value>
form, the variables specified
by the names in the arguments are modified.
