\title{Compute Log Marginal Density Using Newton-Raftery Approx}
\description{
\code{logMargDenNR} computes log marginal density using the Newton-Raftery approximation.
}
\usage{logMargDenNR(ll)}
\arguments{
\item{ll}{ vector of log-likelihoods evaluated at \code{length(ll)} MCMC draws }
}
\value{Approximation to log marginal density value.}
\section{Warning}{
This approximation can be influenced by outliers in the vector of log-likelihoods; use with \strong{care}. This routine is a utility routine that does \strong{not} check the input arguments for proper dimensions and type.
