1Blurb:: Multiplier to scale prior variance
2
3Description::
4The initial proposal covariance will be given by the prior variance
5times the multiplier.
6
7<b> Default Behavior </b>
8When using prior-based proposal covariance, the default is to use the
9prior variance for the proposal (multiplier = 1.0)
10
11<b> Usage Tips </b>
12
13The prior variance may result in too tight or narrow a proposal
14covariance. The multiplier can be used to scale all entries of the
15prior variance in determining the initial proposal covariance.
