PERTURBATION Block for MIXED models

When a mixed model is used, the previous proposal parameters are required for each model and must be enclosed in separate blocks. You must complete a PERTURBATIONi block for each model in the PERTURBATION block with the previously described parameters (see appendix A.8). Parameters which are specific to the MIXED model appear in the PERTURBATION block.
* Model i priority: specify a priority for each model with respect to the other models and the priority used for the average rates.
Model 1 priority = 8
Model 2 priority = 24
* Average rates, proposal priority: specify a priority for the perturbation of the model average substitution rate.
Average rates, proposal priority = 1
* Average rates, proposal minimum acceptance rate and Average rates, proposal maximum acceptance rate: the acceptance range mcmcphase aims for, [0.21, 0.25] by default.
Average rates, proposal minimum acceptance rate = 0.15
Average rates, proposal maximum acceptance rate = 0.25
* Average rates, initial step: allowed initial values are in the range ]0, 1.0]. The default value (when the dynamic step option is on) is 0.2. You cannot provide a specific initial step for each average substitution rate at the moment.
Average rates, initial step = 0.14

The upper-bound for the uniform prior distribution of the average substitution rate ratios is $100.0$.
