seed {XDE} | R Documentation |
Setting a seed is useful for reproducing MCMC chains
seed(object) seed(object) <- value
object |
An object of XdeParameter or XdeMcmc |
value |
Numeric or integer |
The seed stored in the slot of an object of class XdeParameter
and an object of class XdeMcmc
are useful in different ways.
For the XdeParameter
class, the seed indicates what seed was
used to initialize an MCMC chain. By contrast, an object of class
XdeMcmc
contains a seed that would be useful for running
additional iterations – the seed here is guaranteed to be different
from the seed that was used to initiate the MCMC.
