summary.warn

Summaries of posterior weaning parameters

Description

summary.warn calculates simple summaries of posterior samples for the four weaning parameters, which is the maximum density estimators and its marginal probabilities, a joint probability for the combination of the maximum density weaning ages, mean squared distance between the measured and modeled nitrogen isotope ratio (d15N), number of non-adult individuals used, and number of particles used in sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampling.

Usage

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

Arguments

`object`	an object of class `"warn"` generated by `warn`.
`...`	additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

summary.warn returns a list containing following components and those succeeded from "warn":

`call`	the matched call.
`mde`	the maximum density estimators and the marginal probabilities.
`prob.2d.age`	the joint probability for the combination of the maximum density weaning ages.
`dist.mde`	the mean squared distance between the measured and modeled d15Ns.
`individual`	the number of non-adult individuals used.
`particle`	the number of particles used in SMC sampling.
