Useful for fat-tailed distributions, possibly for bimoodal distributions.
Variables on [0,infinity) are log-transformed for proposals.
Usage
Arguments
| x : | Real (<stochastic> pass by reference) |
| The variable on which this move operates. | |
| delta : | RealPos (pass by value) |
| The tuning parameter, larger values for bolder moves. | |
| Default : 1 | |
| tune : | Bool (pass by value) |
| Should we tune the window size during burnin? | |
| Default : TRUE | |
| 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. | |
