Visualize t0 Parameter Posterior Distribution

Creates a visualization of the posterior distribution for the t0 parameter, which represents the theoretical start time of the growth process. The plot can optionally include the prior distribution for comparison.

Usage

plot_t0_posterior(x, add_prior = F)

Arguments

x

A bipod object containing a 'fit' field with model results

add_prior

Logical indicating whether to overlay the prior distribution on the plot. Defaults to FALSE

Value

A ggplot2 object showing the posterior density plot for t0

Details

This function is only applicable when t0 has been inferred during model fitting (i.e., when x$metadata$t0_inferred is TRUE). The plot shows the full posterior distribution, allowing assessment of the uncertainty in the estimated start time. When the prior is included, it helps visualize how the data has updated our beliefs about t0.
