BEAST v2.7.8 Documentation: beast.base.inference.operator.kernel.BactrianIntervalOperator

Proposes a move in state space.
Operator with a flexible kernel distribution
A scale operator that selects a random dimension of the real parameter and scales the value a random amount according to a Bactrian distribution such that the parameter remains in its range. Supposed to be more efficient than UniformOperator

Inputs:

parameter, scaleFactor, optimise, inclusive, kernelDistribution, weight

 

parameter
type: beast.base.inference.parameter.RealParameter
the parameter to operate a random walk on.
Required input

 

scaleFactor
type: java.lang.Double
scaling factor: larger means more bold proposals
Optional input. Default: 1.0

 

optimise
type: java.lang.Boolean
flag to indicate that the scale factor is automatically changed in order to achieve a good acceptance rate (default true)
Optional input. Default: true

 

inclusive
type: java.lang.Boolean
are the upper and lower limits inclusive i.e. should limit values be accepted (default true)
Optional input. Default: true

 

kernelDistribution
type: beast.base.inference.operator.kernel.KernelDistribution
provides sample distribution for proposals
Optional input

 

weight
type: java.lang.Double
weight with which this operator is selected
Required input
