as.mcmc.brmsfit {brms} | R Documentation

## Extract posterior samples for use with the coda package

### Description

Extract posterior samples for use with the coda package

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'brmsfit'
    as.mcmc(x, pars = NA, exact_match = FALSE,
      combine_chains = FALSE, inc_warmup = FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | An `R` object typically of class `brmsfit`
`pars` | Names of parameters for which posterior samples should be returned, as given by a character vector or regular expressions. By default, all posterior samples of all parameters are extracted.
`exact_match` | Indicates whether parameter names should be matched exactly or treated as regular expression. Default is `FALSE`.
`combine_chains` | Indicates whether chains should be combined.
`inc_warmup` | Indicates if the warmup samples should be included. Default is `FALSE`. Warmup samples are used to tune the parameters of the sampling algorithm and should not be analyzed.
`...` | currently unused

### Value

If `combine_chains = TRUE` an `mcmc` object is returned. If `combine_chains = FALSE` an `mcmc.list` object is returned.
