For each parameter, n.eff is a crude measure of effective sample size,

and Rhat is the potential scale reduction factor (at convergence, Rhat=1).

 

DIC info (using the rule, pD = var(deviance)/2)

pD = 10.0 and DIC = 240089.0

DIC is an estimate of expected predictive error (lower deviance is better).
