Model validation in MixSIAR

[pablodlpa]

Hi!

I wonder if there is any option to check for model validation when using MixSiar. Thank you!

You have to check the diagnostics output for that I think. For example in my model: Generally the Gelman diagnostic should be < 1.05

Out of 22 variables: 3 > 1.01
0 > 1.05
0 > 1.1

Further more it also gives The Geweke diagnostic, which is a standard z-score, so we'd expect 5% to be outside +/-1.96 Number of variables outside +/-1.96 in each chain (out of 22: Chain 1 Chain 2 Chain 3 Geweke 2 2 4

Both diagnostics are an indication of the validity of my model.
