A CmdStanPathfinder object is the fitted model object returned by the
$pathfinder() method of a
CmdStanModel object.
CmdStanPathfinder objects have the following associated methods,
all of which have their own (linked) documentation pages.
| Method | Description |
$draws() | Return approximate posterior draws as a draws_matrix. |
$lp() | Return the total log probability density (target) computed in the model block of the Stan program. |
$lp_approx() | Return the log density of the approximation to the posterior. |
$init() | Return user-specified initial values. |
$metadata() | Return a list of metadata gathered from the CmdStan CSV files. |
$code() | Return Stan code as a character vector. |
| Method | Description |
$summary() | Run posterior::summarise_draws(). |
$cmdstan_summary() | Run and print CmdStan's bin/stansummary. |
| Method | Description |
$save_object() | Save fitted model object to a file. |
$save_output_files() | Save output CSV files to a specified location. |
$save_data_file() | Save JSON data file to a specified location. |
$save_latent_dynamics_files() | Save diagnostic CSV files to a specified location. |
| Method | Description |
$time() | Report the total run time. |
$output() | Pretty print the output that was printed to the console. |
$return_codes() | Return the return codes from the CmdStan runs. |
