Continue (restart) chains started by monty_sample. Requires
that the original chains were run with restartable = TRUE.
Running chains this way will result in the final state being
exactly the same as running for the total (original + continued)
number of steps in a single push.
Arguments
- samples
A
monty_samplesobject created bymonty_sample()- n_steps
The number of new steps to run
- restartable
Logical, indicating if the chains should be restartable. This will add additional data to the chains object.
- runner
Optionally, a runner for your chains. The default is to continue with the backend that you used to start the chains via monty_sample (or on the previous restart with this function). You can use this argument to change the runner, which might be useful if transferring a pilot run from a high-resource environment to a lower-resource environment. If given, must be a
monty_runnerobject such as monty_runner_serial or monty_runner_parallel. You can use this argument to change the configuration of a runner, as well as the type of runner (e.g., changing the number of allocated cores).
