  Description     : Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations for GNU R

Simulates continuous distributions of random vectors using Markov
chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Users specify the distribution by an R
function that evaluates the log unnormalized density. Algorithms are
random walk Metropolis algorithm (function metrop), simulated
tempering (function temper), and morphometric random walk Metropolis
(Johnson and Geyer, Annals of Statistics, 2012, function
morph.metrop), which achieves geometric ergodicity by change of
variable.

This package is a dependency for r-cran-mcmcpack version 1.3-5.
