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 .
