Convert priors / MCMC samples to parameter sample chains

Loads prior distributions and MCMC results from disk, generates parameter samples for ensemble and sensitivity analysis runs, and saves results to samples.Rdata.

Usage

get.parameter.samples(
  settings,
  ensemble.size = 1,
  posterior.files = rep(NA, length(settings$pfts)),
  ens.sample.method = "uniform",
  save_to_disk = TRUE
)

Arguments

settings

PEcAn settings object

ensemble.size

number of runs in model ensemble

posterior.files

list of filenames to read from

ens.sample.method

one of "halton", "sobol", "torus", "lhc", "uniform"

save_to_disk

logical. If TRUE (default), saves samples.Rdata.

Value

named list with: trait.samples, sa.samples, ensemble.samples, runs.samples, env.samples

Details

This is the backward-compatible wrapper. Delegates computation to get_parameter_samples.
