mvEllipticalSliceSamplingSimple

Usage

mvEllipticalSliceSamplingSimple(Real[] x, RealPos window, Bool tune, Bool forceAccept, RealPos weight, Probability tuneTarget)

Arguments

x : Real[] (<deterministic> pass by reference)
The variable on which this move operates
window : RealPos (pass by value)
The anglular window (steps-size) of proposals, a value in the interval (0,2*pi].
Default : 6.283185
tune : Bool (pass by value)
Should we tune the move during burnin?
Default : TRUE
forceAccept : Bool (pass by value)
If we hit maximum slice iterations, should we force the sampler to return the initial values (accept a step of size 0)? Not generally recommended.
Default : FALSE
weight : RealPos (pass by value)
The weight determines the relative frequency with which this move will be attempted. For details, see the description of the 'moveschedule' parameter on the documentation page for 'mcmc()'.
Default : 1
tuneTarget : Probability (pass by value)
The acceptance probability targeted by auto-tuning.
Default : 0.44
