plotConvergence

Plot convergence time series for parameter vectors from an mjoint object

Description

Plot convergence time series for parameter vectors from an mjoint object.

Usage

plotConvergence(object, params = "gamma", discard = FALSE)

Arguments

`object`	an object inheriting from class `mjoint` for a joint model of time-to-event and multivariate longitudinal data.
`params`	a string indicating what parameters are to be shown. Options are `params='gamma'` for the time-to-event sub-model covariate coefficients, including the latent association parameters; `params='beta'` for the longitudinal sub-model fixed effects coefficients; `params='sigma2'` for the residual error variances from the longitudinal sub-model; `params='D'` for the lower triangular matrix of the variance-covariance matrix of random effects; `params='loglik'` for the log-likelihood.
`discard`	logical; if `TRUE` then the 'burn-in' phase iterations of the MCEM algorithm are discarded. Default is `discard=FALSE`.
