atmcmc (version 1.0)

atmcmc-package: Automatically Tuned Markov Chain Monte Carlo

Description

This package tunes a symmetric random walk Metropolis algorithm with Gaussian proposals via finite MCMC adaption combined with new adaptive diagnostics, and it runs the tuned algorithm to converge to a target distribution and estimate the stationary mean of a functional.
