\usage{
\S4method{summary}{bdpnormal}(object)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{object of class \code{bdpnormal}. The result of a call to the
\code{\link{bdpnormal}} function.}

\description{
\code{summary} method for class \code{bdpnormal}.
}
\details{
Displays a summary of the \code{bdpnormal} fit including the
input data, the stochastic comparison between current and historical
data, and the resulting historical data weight (alpha). If historical
data is missing then no stochastic comparison nor weight are displayed.
In the case of a one-arm analysis, the displayed 95 percent
CI contains the lower and upper limits of the
augmented mean value of the current data. The displayed
\code{mean of treatment group} is the mean of the current data
augmented by the historical data.
When a control arm is present, a two-arm analysis is carried out.
Now, the displayed 95 percent CI contains the
lower and upper limits of the difference between the treatment and
control arms with the historical data augmented to current data, if
present. The displayed posterior sample estimates are the
mean of the treatment and control arms, each of
which are augmented when historical data are present.
