\title{Extract parameters from mcmcComposite object}
\usage{
as.parameters(
  x = stop("A result obtained after a MCMC analysis must be given."),
  total = FALSE,
  index = "best",
  chain = "all",
  probs = c(0.025, 0.5, 0.975),
  silent = FALSE
)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{A mcmcComposite obtained as a result of \code{MHalgoGen()} function}

\item{total}{If TRUE, does not use the thinned results.}

\item{index}{At which iteration the parameters must be taken, see description.}

\item{chain}{The chain in which to get parameters; "all" is for all chains.}

\item{probs}{Quantiles to be returned, see description.}

\item{silent}{If TRUE, does not print any information.}
}
\value{
A vector with parameters at maximum likelihood or index position
}
\description{
Take a mcmcComposite object and create a vector object with parameter value at specified iteration.\cr
If \code{index="best"}, the function will return the parameters for the highest likelihood. It also indicates at which iteration the maximum lihelihood has been observed.\cr
If \code{index="last"}, the function will return the parameters for the last likelihood.\cr
If \code{index="median"}, the function will return the median value of the parameter.\cr
if \code{index="quantile"}, the function will return the \code{probs} defined by quantiles parameter.\cr
If \code{index="mode"}, the function will return the mode value of the parameter based on Asselin de Beauville (1978) method.\cr
\code{index} can also be a numeric value. It uses all the chains being concatanated.\cr
This function uses the complete iterations available if total is TRUE. Is adaptation part is never used.
