Extract (penalized) maximum likelihood estimate after optimization

Source: R/fit.R

The $mle() method is only available for CmdStanMLE objects. It returns the penalized maximum likelihood estimate (posterior mode) as a numeric vector with one element per variable. The returned vector does not include lp__, the total log probability (target) accumulated in the model block of the Stan program, which is available via the $lp() method and also included in the $draws() method.

mle(variables = NULL)

Arguments

variables

(character vector) The variables (parameters, transformed parameters, and generated quantities) to include. If NULL (the default) then all variables are included.

Value

A numeric vector. See Examples.
