Model averaging via stacking or pseudo-BMA weighting.

Source: R/loo.R
loo_model_weights.brmsfit.Rd

Compute model weights for brmsfit objects via stacking or pseudo-BMA weighting. For more details, see loo::loo_model_weights.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'brmsfit'
loo_model_weights(x, ..., model_names = NULL)

Arguments

x

A brmsfit object.

...

More brmsfit objects or further arguments passed to the underlying post-processing functions. In particular, see prepare_predictions for further supported arguments.

model_names

If NULL (the default) will use model names derived from deparsing the call. Otherwise will use the passed values as model names.

Value

A named vector of model weights.
