Coerce a bugs object into Random Variable Objects

Source: R/as_rv_bugs.R

as.rv.bugs coerces an R2WinBUGS object to a list of rv objects or to a named rv object (vector).

# S3 method for bugs
as.rv(x, list. = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

a bugs (R2WinBUGS) object

list.

logical; return a list of rv objects instead of a single rv object (vector)?

...

(ignored)

Value

If list.=TRUE, a named list of random vectors or a named random vector, otherwise a random vector. (Usually one would prefer a list.)f

Details

as.rvsummary.bugs works similarly but coerces the resulting rv objects into rvsummary objects.
