**Description**


Value of parameter :math:`b` in equation for the scaling scalar :math:`a_i` in the :math:`i`-th stage, :math:`i=0,1,...,N-1`, where :math:`N` is the number of stages (parameter 
:dakkw:`method-bayes_calibration-muq-delayed_rejection-num_stages`). The equation can be either :math:`a_i = b/(i+1)` (in case of
:dakkw:`method-bayes_calibration-muq-delayed_rejection-scale_type` = "Linear") or :math:`a_i = b/2^i` (for "Power"). Value must be positive. Used by the DR and DRAM MCMC algorithms.
