Option to fix variance parameter #26

Closed athowes closed 7 months ago

athowes commented 2 years ago

Jeff mentioned that it's unlikely that the variance parameter can be recovered in some of the vignette geometries (they have three areas). Add an option in bsae to fix this parameter to the correct value (oracle) then redo the inference with this option set here.

Some uncertainty here as to whether this benefits some of the methods more than others.
