DR: The Delayed Rejection Algorithm

Description

The Delayed Rejection Algorithm (Tierney and Mira, 1999)

Usage

DR(startValue = NULL, iterations = 10000, nBI = 0, parmin = NULL,
  parmax = NULL, f1 = 1, f2 = 0.5, FUN)

Arguments

startValue
vector with the start values for the algorithm. Can be NULL if FUN is of class BayesianSetup. In this case startValues are sampled from the prior.
iterations
iterations to run
nBI
number of burnin
parmin
minimum values for the parameter vector or NULL if FUN is of class BayesianSetup
parmax
maximum values for the parameter vector or NULL if FUN is of class BayesianSetup
f1
scaling factor for first proposal
f2
scaling factor for second proposal
FUN
function to be sampled from or object of class bayesianSetup
