Summary statistics for Markov Chain Monte Carlo chains

summary.mcmc produces two sets of summary statistics for each variable:

Mean, standard deviation, naive standard error of the mean (ignoring autocorrelation of the chain) and time-series standard error based on an estimate of the spectral density at 0.

Quantiles of the sample distribution using the quantiles argument.
