Closed CoryMcCartan closed 2 years ago

CoryMcCartan commented 2 years ago

This PR

  1. Adds a missing correction term to the SMC algorithm
  2. Adds parallel capacity (within and across sampling runs) to SMC
  3. Provides new diagnostics functions and capabilities, with friendly, human-readable output
  4. Performs general cleanup, etc., towards redist 4.0

Additional question: how does set.seed work with runs in SMC. Guidance on how to make SMC with multiple runs replicable with set.seed would be helpful.

@kuriwaki yes, good point. Looking into this. Goal would be for a single set.seed call to determine all of the runs' output
