The Model Plot Credits As Bayesian models usually generate a lot of samples (iterations), one could want to plot them as well, instead (or along) the posterior “summary” (with indices like the 90% HDI). This can be done quite easily by extracting all the iterations in get_predicted from the psycho package. The Model # devtools::install_githu...
