[Basta-users] Obtaining posterior values from iterations

[Fernando Colchero]

Dear Jenni and BaSTA users,

   We just uploaded to the BaSTA webpage a function to produce similar plots from the one in Colchero and Clark (2012). You can find an explanation on how to load it and use it at the end of the "Application" section of the webpage. Please, let us know if it works well.

   Also, we strongly recommend all users to install BaSTA 1.8 from the webpage, which should be available on CRAN in the next few days. It has important bug fixes.

   Best,

   Fernando
