BEAST v2.7.8 Documentation: starbeast3.operators.AVMNCubeOperator

Proposes a move in state space.
This operator changes a beast.tree.
Adaptable variance multivariate normal operator on cube description of a tree

Inputs:

scaleFactor, coefficient, beta, initial, burnin, every, optimise, tree, markclades, weight

 

scaleFactor
type: java.lang.Double
start scaling factor, larger values give bolder moves (this is tuned during the run)
Optional input. Default: 1.0

 

coefficient
type: java.lang.Double
determines diagonal correlation for variance matrix
Optional input. Default: 1.0

 

beta
type: java.lang.Double
fraction of proposal determined by non-covariance matrix
Optional input

 

initial
type: java.lang.Integer
Number of proposals before covariance matrix is considered in proposal. Must be larger than burnin, if specified. If not specified (or < 0), the operator uses 200 * paramater dimension
Optional input. Default: -1

 

burnin
type: java.lang.Integer
Number of proposals that are ignored before covariance matrix is being updated. If initial is not specified, uses half the default initial value (which equals 100 * paramater dimension)
Optional input. Default: 0

 

every
type: java.lang.Integer
update interval for covarionce matrix, default 1 (that is, every step)
Optional input. Default: 1

 

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

 

tree
type: beast.base.evolution.tree.Tree
beast.tree on which this operation is performed
Required input

 

markclades
type: java.lang.Boolean
Mark all ancestors of nodes changed by the operator as changed, up to the MRCA of all nodes changed by the operator.
Optional input. Default: false

 

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