Provides posterior summary of regime probabilities

Source: R/summary.R
summary.PosteriorRegimePr.Rd

Provides posterior summary of regime probabilities including their mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'PosteriorRegimePr'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class PosteriorRegimePr obtained using the compute_regime_probabilities() function containing posterior draws of regime allocations.

...

additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

A list reporting the posterior mean and standard deviations of the regime probabilities.
