Rename the filenames within an MCMC

Rename the filenames within an MCMC

Usage

rename_mcmc_filenames(mcmc, rename_fun)

Arguments

mcmc

one MCMC. Use create_mcmc to create an MCMC. Use create_ns_mcmc to create an MCMC for a Nested Sampling run. Use check_mcmc to check if an MCMC is valid. Use rename_mcmc_filenames to rename the filenames in an MCMC.

rename_fun

a function to rename a filename, as can be checked by check_rename_fun. This function should have one argument, which will be a filename or NA. The function should return one filename (when passed one filename) or one NA (when passed one NA). Example rename functions are:

• get_remove_dir_fun get a function that removes the directory paths from the filenames, in effect turning these into local files

• get_replace_dir_fun get a function that replaces the directory paths from the filenames

• get_remove_hex_fun get a function that removes the hex string from filenames. For example, tracelog_82c1a522040.log becomes tracelog.log

Value

an `mcmc` (see create_mcmc) with renamed filenames

Examples

check_empty_beautier_folder()

# Create an MCMC with local filenames
mcmc <- create_mcmc()
mcmc$tracelog$filename <- "trace.log"
mcmc$screenlog$filename <- "screen.log"
mcmc$treelog$filename <- "tree.log"

# Nah, files should be put in '/home/john' folder
mcmc <- rename_mcmc_filenames(
  mcmc = mcmc,
  rename_fun = get_replace_dir_fun("/home/john")
)

# Nah, files should be put in '/home/doe' folder instead
mcmc <- rename_mcmc_filenames(
  mcmc = mcmc,
  rename_fun = get_replace_dir_fun("/home/doe")
)

# Nah, files should be put in local folder instead
mcmc <- rename_mcmc_filenames(
  mcmc = mcmc,
  rename_fun = get_remove_dir_fun()
)
