\usage{
\method{window}{mcmc}(x, start, end, thin, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{an mcmc object}
\item{start}{the first iteration of interest}
\item{end}{the last iteration of interest}
\item{thin}{the required interval between successive samples}
\item{\dots}{futher arguments for future methods}
}
\description{
\code{window.mcmc} is a method for \code{mcmc} objects which is
normally called by the generic function \code{window}
In addition to the generic parameters, \code{start} and \code{end}
the additional parameter \code{thin} may be used to thin out the
Markov chain. Setting thin=k selects every kth iteration starting
with the first. Note that the value of \code{thin} is \emph{absolute}
not relative. The value supplied given to the parameter \code{thin}
must be a multiple of \code{thin(x)}.
Values of \code{start}, \code{end} and \code{thin} which are inconsistent
with \code{x} are ignored, but a warning message is issued.
