multiplier
Multiplier to scale prior variance
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: REAL
Default: 1.0
Description
The initial proposal covariance will be given by the prior variance times the multiplier.
Default Behavior When using prior-based proposal covariance, the default is to use the prior variance for the proposal (multiplier = 1.0)
Usage Tips
The prior variance may result in too tight or narrow a proposal covariance. The multiplier can be used to scale all entries of the prior variance in determining the initial proposal covariance.
