ggmcmc: Analysis of MCMC Samples and Bayesian Inference

Same L-Kurtosis for different variance and degrees of freedom.

Abstract

ggmcmc is an R package for analyzing Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations from Bayesian inference. By using a well known example of hierarchical/multilevel modeling, the article reviews the potential uses and options of the package, ranging from classical convergence tests to caterpillar plots or posterior predictive checks.
