Run a chain that was prepared using monty_sample_manual_prepare.

Usage

monty_sample_manual_run(chain_id, path, progress = NULL)

Arguments

chain_id

The id for the chain to run, an integer. If you provide an integer that does not correspond to a chain in 1 to n_chains (where n_chains was the argument passed to monty_sample_manual_prepare it is an error.

path

The path used in the call to monty_sample_manual_prepare

progress

Optional logical, indicating if we should print a progress bar while running. If NULL, we use the value of the option monty.progress if set, otherwise we show the progress bar (as it is typically wanted). Alternatively, you can provide a string indicating the progress bar type. Options are fancy (equivalent to TRUE), none (equivalent to FALSE) and simple (a very simple text-mode progress indicator designed play nicely with logging; it does not use special codes to clear the line).

Warning:

There is no lock mechanism; you can start a single chain many times. Don't do this.

Examples


model <- monty_example("banana")
sampler <- monty_sampler_random_walk(vcv = diag(2) * 0.05)
path <- tempfile()
monty_sample_manual_prepare(model, sampler, 100, path)
monty_sample_manual_info(path)
