R: Time windows for mcmc objects

window.mcmc {coda} | R Documentation

## Time windows for mcmc objects

### Description

`window.mcmc` is a method for `mcmc` objects which is normally called by the generic function `window`

In addition to the generic parameters, `start` and `end` the additional parameter `thin` may be used to thin out the Markov chain. Setting thin=k selects every kth iteration starting with the first. Note that the value of `thin` is absolute not relative. The value supplied given to the parameter `thin` must be a multiple of `thin(x)`.

Values of `start`, `end` and `thin` which are inconsistent with `x` are ignored, but a warning message is issued.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'mcmc'
    window(x, start, end, thin, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | an mcmc object
`start` | the first iteration of interest
`end` | the last iteration of interest
`thin` | the required interval between successive samples
`...` | futher arguments for future methods

### See Also

`window`, `thin`.
