Arguments

samples

samples from a posterior distribution for a parameter generated by marginal_inference.

parameter

parameter name to be plotted.

plot_type

whether to use a base plot "base" or ggplot2 "ggplot" for plotting.

prior

whether prior distribution should be added to the figure

n_points

number of equally spaced points in the x_range if x_seq is unspecified

transformation

transformation to be applied to the prior distribution. Either a character specifying one of the prepared transformations:

lin

linear transformation in form of a + b*x

tanh

also known as Fisher's z transformation

exp

exponential transformation

, or a list containing the transformation function fun, inverse transformation function inv, and the Jacobian of the transformation jac. See examples for details.

transformation_arguments

a list with named arguments for the transformation

transformation_settings

boolean indicating whether the settings the x_seq or x_range was specified on the transformed support

rescale_x

allows to rescale x-axis in case a weightfunction is plotted.

par_name

a type of parameter for which the prior is specified. Only relevant if the prior corresponds to a mu parameter that needs to be transformed.

dots_prior

additional arguments for the prior distribution plot

...

additional arguments

Value

plot_marginal returns either NULL or an object of class 'ggplot' if plot_type is plot_type = "ggplot".
