Dear @paulremo, dear all,
you/Paul-Remo Wagner wrote in one of your/his posts dealing with the contents of myBayesianAnalysis.Results
:
While reviewing this, I realized that the naming of
.PriorPredSample
and.PostPredSample
fields (i.e.,Prior
andPriorPred
,Post
andPostPred
) is not ideal. In the next version of the module, these names will therefore be updated. For.PriorPredSample
I suggest the field names.Sample
and.ModelEvaluations
to replace.PriorPred
and.Prior
, respectively.
Concerning this planed renaming of the contents of .PriorPredSample
and .PostPredSample
, I think that it may create confusion if in the UQLab code the name .....Results.PriorPredSample.Sample
is used for the model output with noise and ....Results.sample
is still the name for the samples resulting form the MCMC sampler.
This holds at least for those persons, who are now used to the fact that the only data object denoted as .sample
are the samples for the parameter (and discrepancy) values from the MCMC sampling in ....Results
, while the names of all other data object containing samples either start with some prefix information on the considered object followed by sample
or do not contain the substring sample
at all.
Being not afraid of using long names, I would like to suggest to use .ModelEvaluationsWithNoise
or .ModelEvaluationsWithDiscrepancy
and .ModelEvaluations
(or .ModelEvalWithNoise
or .ModelEvaWithDisc
and .ModelEval
) to replace .PriorPred
and .Prior
(PostPred
and Post
), respectively. But maybe someone has a better idea.
