Parameters' update sequence
plan_update_sequence(k, nsteps, fixed, scheme)A logical vector of size nsteps x k.
Integer. Number of parameters
Integer. Number of steps.
Logical scalar or vector of length k. Indicates which parameters
will be treated as fixed or not. Single values are recycled.
Scheme in which the proposals are made (see details).
The parameter scheme present on the currently available kernels sets the way
in which proposals are made. By default, scheme = "joint", proposals are done
jointly, this is, at each step of the chain we are proposing new states for
each parameter of the model. When scheme = "ordered", a sequential update schema
is followed, in which, at each step of the chain, proposals are made one
variable at a time, If scheme = "random", proposals are also made one
variable at a time but in a random scheme.
Finally, users can specify their own sequence of proposals for the variables
by passing a numeric vector to scheme, for example, if the user wants to make
sequential proposals following the scheme 2, 1, 3, then scheme must be set to
be scheme = c(2, 1, 3).
