BEASTObject that performs calculations based on the State.
A node that can be part of the state.
A parameter represents a value in the state space that can be changed by operators.
A real-valued parameter represents a value (or array of values if the dimension is larger than one) in the state space that can be changed by operators.
Randomly innitialise a RealParameter by sampling from a ParametricDistribution.
Logable: yes, this can be used in a log.

| type: beast.base.inference.parameter.RealParameter |
| Parameter to initialize. (If absent, initialise RandomRealParameter itself.) |
| Optional input |
 
| type: beast.base.inference.distribution.ParametricDistribution |
| Distribution from which to draw a random value. Usually the prior ditribution for this parameter. |
| Required input |
 
| type: java.lang.Double |
| lower value for this parameter (default -infinity) |
| Optional input |
 
| type: java.lang.Double |
| upper value for this parameter (default +infinity) |
| Optional input |
 
| type: java.lang.Double*** |
| start value(s) for this parameter. If multiple values are specified, they should be separated by whitespace. |
| Optional input |
 
| type: java.lang.Integer |
| dimension of the parameter (default 1, i.e scalar) |
| Optional input. Default: 1 |
 
| type: java.lang.Integer |
| minor-dimension when the parameter is interpreted as a matrix (default 1) |
| Optional input. Default: 1 |
 
| type: java.lang.String |
| the keys (unique dimension names) for the dimensions of this parameter |
| Optional input |
 
| type: java.lang.Boolean |
| whether to estimate this item or keep constant to its initial value |
| Optional input. Default: true |
