| Title: | Trace Plots, Density Plots and Chain Comparisons for MCMC Samples | 
| Version: | 0.2.7 | 
| Description: | Provides methods for examining posterior MCMC samples from a single chain using trace plots and density plots, and from multiple chains by comparing posterior medians and credible intervals from each chain. These plotting functions have a variety of options, such as figure sizes, legends, parameters to plot, and saving plots to file. Functions interface with the NIMBLE software package, see de Valpine, Turek, Paciorek, Anderson-Bergman, Temple Lang and Bodik (2017) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2016.1172487>. |

Compare trace plots from multiple MCMC chains
Description
Overlays trace plots from each MCMC chain, for each parameter

  scale = FALSE,
  line = NULL,
  ncols = NULL,
  width = 7,
  height = NULL,
  legend = !is.null(names(samplesList)),
