Scale Parameter \(\sigma\)

Note: we will now work with \(\eta = \log(\sigma)\) to ensure that \(\sigma\) is positive.

Shape Parameter \(\xi\)


Tuning Parameters

Pilot scheme reccommended for long schemes. Runs 1000 iterations with no thinning and a burn-in of 200.

Pilot Run: Parameter Analysis

Note: acceptance probabilities should be between 20 – 30% for an optimal scheme.
