<|file_sep|># MCMCChains.jl
[](https://travis-ci.org/TuringLang/MCMCChains.jl)
This package provides data structures for representing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) chains along with functions for analysis.
## Installation
julia
Pkg.add("MCMCChains")
## Features
* Data structure that represents MCMC chains.
* Functions for analyzing MCMC chains such as trace plots and histograms.
* Support for serialization using JLD.
* Support for serialization using HDF5.
* Support for saving/loading samples using JLD.
* Support for saving/loading samples using HDF5.
* Support for saving/loading samples using BSON.
## Usage
The primary data structure provided by this package is `MCMCChains.Chain`. It stores MCMC samples generated by different samplers such as Metropolis-Hastings or Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.
Here's how you create an `MCMCChains.Chain` object:
julia
using MCMCChains
x_samples = [0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.] # MCMC samples from parameter x
y_samples = [0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-1.,-1.,-1.,-1.,-1.] # MCMC samples from parameter y
# Create an `MCMCChains.Chain` object with two parameters `x` and `y`.
# The first five samples are discarded as burn-in.
c_chain = Chain(x=x_samples,y=y_samples,burnin=5)
An `MCMCChains.Chain` object stores information about parameters (names), number of chains (`nchains`), number of parameters (`nparams`), number of samples (`length`) after discarding burn-in samples.
julia
names(c_chain) # Return parameter names.
nchains(c_chain) # Return number of chains.
nparams(c_chain) # Return number of parameters.
length(c_chain) # Return number of samples after discarding burn-in samples.
You can access individual parameter values using indexing syntax:
julia
c_chain[:x] # Return all `x` values from all chains.
c_chain[:, :y] # Same as above but more verbose.
# Get all `x` values from chain number `i`.
c_chain[i][:x]
c_chain[i,:x]
# Get all `y` values from chain number `i`.
c_chain[i][:y]
c_chain[i,:y]
# Get all `x` values from chain number `i`, excluding burn-in samples.
c_chain[i].value[:x]
c_chain[i].value[:x]
# Get all `y` values from chain number `i`, excluding burn-in samples.
c_chain[i].value[:y]
c_chain[i].value[:y]
# Get all values from chain number `i`, excluding burn-in samples.
c_chain[i].value[:]
You can also access individual parameter values using array syntax:
julia
c_chain[:, :, :x] # Return all `x` values from all chains.
c_chain[:, :, :y] # Same as above but more verbose.
# Get all `x` values from chain number `i`.
c_chain[i,:, :x]
c_chain[i,:, :x]
# Get all `y` values from chain number `i`.
c_chain[i,:, :y]
c_chain[i,:, :y]
# Get all `x` values from chain number `i`, excluding burn-in samples.
c_chain[i].value[:, :x]
c_chain[i].value[:, :x]
# Get all `y` values from chain number `i`, excluding burn-in samples.
c_chain[i].value[:, :y]
c_chain[i].value[:, :y]
# Get all values from chain number `i`, excluding burn-in samples.
c_chain[i].value[:]

### hpdinterval
This function calculates highest posterior density interval.
julia
lower_interval, upper_interval =
hpdinterval(c_chains; alpha=.05)
### rhat
This function calculates Gelman-Rubin convergence diagnostic statistic.
