The same posterior draw matrix can therefore be inspected, tabulated, and plotted without changing the fitted model or its contract. ## Backend-independent posterior tables ```{r} library(gp3bayes) draws <- cbind( intercept = seq(-1, 1, length.out = 500), condition = seq(-0.5, 0.7, length.out = 500) ) posterior_interval_table(draws) posterior_probability_table(draws, rope = c(-0.1, 0.1)) posterior_correlation_table(draws) ``` ## Publication graphics ```{r, eval=requireNamespace("ggplot2", quietly=TRUE) && requireNamespace("bayesplot", quietly=TRUE)} plot_posterior_intervals(draws) plot_posterior_areas(draws) ``` The plotting functions return ordinary plotting objects. They do not alter posterior draws, set decision thresholds, or turn interval exclusion into an automatic substantive conclusion. ## Fitted-model extraction For an approved fitted model, the post-fit API standardises extraction through the `posterior` package: ```{r, eval=FALSE} draw_array <- extract_posterior_draws(fit, regex = "^b_", format = "array") draw_df <- extract_posterior_draws(fit, regex = "^b_", format = "df") mcmc_diagnostic_table(fit) sampler_diagnostic_table(fit) quality <- summarise_mcmc_quality(fit) plot_rank_diagnostics(fit) plot_autocorrelation(fit) plot_mcmc_quality(quality) plot_sampler_diagnostics(fit) ``` Diagnostic flags request inspection. Their absence is not encoded as proof of model adequacy.
