Inference for volume by weekday
The 10,000 iteration RJAGS simulation output, rail_sim_1, is in your workspace along with a data frame of the Markov chain output:
> head(rail_chains_1, 2)
a b.1. b.2. s
1 420.6966 0 -54.30783 118.2328
2 399.5823 0 -52.02570 119.9499
These chains provide 10,000 unique sets of values for a, the typical trail volume on weekend days, and b.2., the contrast between typical weekday volume vs weekend volume. For example, the first set of parameters indicate that there are typically 420.6966 riders on weekend days and 54.30783 fewer riders on weekdays. Thus there are typically 420.6966 - 54.30783 = 366.3888 riders on weekdays. You will utilize these simulation data to make inferences about weekday trail volume.

Instruções do exercício
- Combine the
aandb.2.chain values to construct a chain of 10,000 values for the typical weekday trail volume. Store this asweekday_meaninrail_chains_1. - Use
ggplot()to construct a density plot of theweekday_meanchain values. - Construct a 95% credible interval for the typical weekday trail volume.
