R: Appeased

is.appeased {LaplacesDemon} | R Documentation

## Appeased

### Description

This function returns `TRUE` if Laplace's Demon is appeased by the object of class `demonoid`, and `FALSE` otherwise. If appeased, then the object passes several tests that indicate potential convergence of the Markov chains.

### Usage

    is.appeased(x)

### Arguments

`x` | This is an object of class `demonoid`.

### Details

After updating a model with the `LaplacesDemon` function, an output object is created. The output object is of class `demonoid`. The object may be passed to the `Consort` function, which will apply several criteria regarding the potential convergence of its Markov chains. If all criteria are met, then Laplace's Demon is appeased. Otherwise, Laplace's Demon suggests R code to be copy/pasted and executed. The `Consort` function prints a large amount of information to the screen. The `is.appeased` function may be applied as an alternative, though it only informs the user as to whether or not Laplace's Demon was appeased, as `TRUE` or `FALSE`.

### Value

The `is.appeased` function returns a logical value indicating whether or not the supplied object passes several potential Markov chain convergence criteria. If the object passes all criteria, then Laplace's Demon is appeased, and the logical value returned is `TRUE`.
