Regarding the clinical process–mechanism–outcome
linkages examined in the SEM, EB results for the regression
parameters in the structural portion of the SEM (see Figure
4) suggest a positive effect of the following sets of therapist
interventions on change in family functioning: (a)
proportion of individually focused general interventions (BE
(7,9) = 17.49, 95% credible interval [6.41, 28.29])

事例:MCMCの実施における設定
One hundred thousand simulated draws from the
posterior were obtained for each parameter. The simulated
draws were preceded by 2,000 “burn in” draws, which were
discarded from the analysis. To reduce temporal
autocorrelation among the draws, the MCMC chain was
thinned by including only every 20th draw, yielding 5,000
simulated posterior observations.

事例:MCMC収束のエビデンス
Finally, values of Rˆ equaled 1.0 for all parameters,
indicating convergence across the seven chains initiated
from disparate starting values (i.e., the separate chains
arrived at the same destination from different starting
points). By all indications, it appeared that the MCMC
algorithm achieved convergence for all SEM parameters,
meaning that the simulated posterior values were drawn
from the true posterior for each parameter.
