Reads MCMC output.
read_bcal(file, ...)
# S4 method for character
read_bcal(file, bin_width = 1, calendar = BP())the name of the file which the data are to be read from.
Each row of the table appears as one line of the file. If it does
not contain an absolute path, the file name is
relative to the current working directory,
getwd(). Tilde-expansion is performed where supported.
This can be a compressed file (see file).
Alternatively, file can be a readable text-mode
connection (which will be opened for reading if
necessary, and if so closed (and hence destroyed) at
the end of the function call). (If stdin() is used,
the prompts for lines may be somewhat confusing. Terminate input
with a blank line or an EOF signal, Ctrl-D on Unix and
Ctrl-Z on Windows. Any pushback on stdin() will be
cleared before return.)
file can also be a complete URL. (For the supported URL
schemes, see the ‘URLs’ section of the help for
url.)
Further arguments to be passed to read.table.
The bin width specified for the BCal calibration. Defaults to the BCal default of 1.
A TimeScale object specifying the calendar
(see aion::calendar()). It should be BP() unless you change the
default settings in 'BCal'.
An EventsMCMC object.
