Thinning Posterior Draws


Description

Thins the MCMC posterior draws in an object of class "dfm".

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dfm'
thin_posterior(x, thin = 10)

Arguments

x

an object of class "dfm".

thin

an integer specifying the thinning interval between successive values of posterior draws.

Value

An object of class "dfm".

Examples

# Load data
data("bem_dfmdata")

# Generate model data
model <- gen_dfm(x = bem_dfmdata, p = 1, n = 1,
                 iterations = 20, burnin = 10)
# Number of iterations and burnin should be much higher.

# Add prior specifications
model <- add_priors(model,
                    lambda = list(v_i = .01),
                    sigma_u = list(shape = 5, rate = 4),
                    a = list(v_i = .01),
                    sigma_v = list(shape = 5, rate = 4))

# Obtain posterior draws
object <- draw_posterior(model)

# Plot factors
object <- thin_posterior(object, thin = 2)
