Burn-in and thinning of MCMC samples

burnin.thin(
  samples,
  target = 5000,
  burnin.ratio = 2,
  auto = TRUE,
  burnin = NULL,
  thin = NULL
)

Arguments

samples: Matrix of MCMC samples
target: Target number of samples (default = 5000). Only applicable if auto=TRUE.
burnin.ratio: Fraction of samples to burn-in; i.e. 2 means to remove first 1/2 of samples, 3 means 1/3, etc. (default = 2). Only applicable if auto=TRUE.
auto: Whether or not to perform automatic burnin and thin based on target number of samples.
burnin: Number of samples to discard as burnin (auto must be FALSE)
thin: Thinning interval (auto must be FALSE)
